Remote Job Hunter

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed remote-job-search helper, but users should be careful with its broad activation wording and email credential setup.

Install only if you want an agent to help search remote jobs and possibly configure daily email reports. Confirm before enabling scheduled runs, avoid storing SMTP passwords in plain JSON when possible, and treat resume/profile details and job preferences as personal data.

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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The trigger list is broad enough to activate on common conversation about jobs or remote work, which can cause the agent to invoke this skill unexpectedly. Because the skill can launch scripts that search external sources, read configuration, and potentially send email, accidental invocation could expose user data or perform actions the user did not clearly request.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category

Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

The skill explicitly describes emailing reports and storing SMTP credentials in configuration, but it does not warn that this involves handling sensitive personal data such as email addresses, job preferences, and authentication secrets. In this context, users may be prompted to place credentials in a local JSON file or transmit job-match data by email without understanding the privacy and secret-management risks.

Vague Triggers

Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The 'When to Use' section defines activation using vague requests like asking about job opportunities or mentioning 'remote work', without boundaries that distinguish casual discussion from an execution request. In an agent environment, ambiguous routing increases the chance that the skill runs during normal conversation and initiates network actions or email workflows without sufficiently specific consent.
