Content Summary

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a simple public-content search and summarization alias with some usability concerns but no hidden execution, persistence, credential access, or destructive behavior.

Install this only if you want content-search requests to use public web/platform lookup and metadata-based summaries. Prefer explicit invocation such as `/content-summary` to avoid accidental activation from generic summary requests, and verify whether the separate detailed playbook exists in your environment.

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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The aliases summary and 内容摘要 are highly generic and overlap with ordinary conversational requests, making unintended activation likely. This is dangerous because common user prompts about summarization could invoke external search-and-summarize behavior instead of a local summarization path, expanding data access and tool usage unexpectedly.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

Mandating Chinese summaries without user choice can violate user expectations and reduce transparency, especially if the user requested another language or relies on precise wording for safety-sensitive interpretation. While not a direct code-execution issue, it can lead to miscommunication, degraded usability, and incorrect downstream decisions based on untranslated or unexpected output.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill allows activation from a broad natural-language request that 'clearly asks for content search, ranking, and summary output,' which can cause unintended routing when a user makes a generic request that happens to match those semantics. In an agent environment, overly loose triggers increase the chance of accidental skill invocation, unexpected browsing/scraping behavior, or bypass of more appropriate user confirmation flows.

Finding

Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.
