Conference Poster Pitch

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a simple local poster-pitch generator with some overly broad boilerplate instructions but no evidence of hidden access, persistence, network use, or unsafe behavior.

This appears safe to install for generating rough conference poster pitch text. Users should treat it as a lightweight template helper, not a full academic-writing workflow engine, and should review generated text for accuracy before use.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs

Finding

The description presents the skill as something suited for academic writing workflows with structured execution and explicit constraints, implying process-oriented behavior or boundary management. The supplied code does not implement workflow orchestration, assumption handling, or output-boundary features. Instead, it simply accepts a poster title and duration and emits one of several predefined pitch templates. While both relate loosely to conference poster pitches, the declared purpose materially overstates and mischaracterizes the actual behavior.

Finding

The 'When to Use' section describes the skill in very general terms such as 'academic writing workflows' and 'academic writing tasks' without clearly distinguishing what specifically qualifies for this poster-pitch skill versus other writing skills. This lack of concrete trigger constraints or negative examples could cause unintended invocation across many ordinary academic-writing requests.
