Security audit

Spatial Transcriptomics Mapper

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a local scientific data-analysis skill that reads user-provided Visium/Xenium files and writes plots or reports, with no evidence of hidden data access or exfiltration.

Install in a virtual environment or container, replace 'pil' with pinned 'Pillow' and pin the other dependencies before production use. Provide only datasets you intend the tool to read, choose an output directory deliberately, and treat generated reports/images as potentially containing sensitive sample-derived information.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • 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
The activation guidance is broad enough to attract generic data-analysis requests instead of only spatial transcriptomics mapping. Over-broad routing increases the chance the skill will be invoked on unsupported inputs or adjacent tasks, which can lead to unsafe script execution, inappropriate file handling, or misleading outputs outside its validated scope. The surrounding skill content includes execution guidance and file access, so misuse is more consequential than a purely descriptive mismatch.
