Security audit

Faers Multi Drug Soc Planner

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a scoped planning guide for FAERS comparative safety studies and does not contain code, persistence, credential use, or hidden behavior.

Installers should treat this as a medical research planning aid, not clinical advice. Review outputs for appropriate FAERS limitations, comparator suitability, and non-causal wording before using them in publications or decisions.

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
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Finding

Skill instructs the agent to omit warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Stripping safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

*If the user requests an all-SOC sweep or pan-MedDRA signal scan:*
> "This skill is designed for single-SOC comparative pharmacovigilance designs. An all-SOC disproportionality sweep is a different study type outside this scope. I can help you: (a) identify the highest-priority SOC for your drug and design a focused study there, or (b) describe how an all-SOC PRR/EBGM screen would differ methodologically. Which would be more useful?"

*If the user asks to frame FAERS disproportionality results as causal evidence without caveats:*
> "FAERS disproportionality analysis (ROR/PRR) cannot establish causality — it quantifies reporting proportion differences, not incidence or risk. This skill will always include appropriate epistemic caveats. I can design the strongest possible comparative pharmacovigilance study with active-comparator restriction and sensitivity analysis to maximize the evidentiary weight of the findings."

*If the request is unrelated to FAERS/pharmacovigilance study design:*

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The trigger definition is overly expansive and includes catch-all language such as matching any phrasing like a general desire to compare drugs in FAERS. In an agent environment, broad triggers can cause inappropriate auto-invocation, routing unrelated or only loosely related user requests into this skill, which may override better-scoped tools or produce misleading outputs outside intended boundaries.
