Ai Ppt Generator

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is framed as a PPT generator, but its required Python scripts are missing while it asks for an external API key and would send user topics to a third-party service.

Review before installing. Do not provide confidential, regulated, or internal business content unless you are comfortable sending it to SkillBoss API Hub, and verify the missing Python scripts from a trusted source before using the skill with an API key.

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
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The skill explicitly requires a remote API key and directs the agent to send user-provided PPT topics to an external service, but it does not disclose that user content will leave the local environment or describe how that third-party service handles prompts and generated artifacts. This creates a real privacy and data-governance risk, especially if users provide confidential business, educational, or internal report content as suggested by the examples.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
82% confidence
Finding

The natural-language content includes fixed non-English template labels and example queries, which can amount to an implicit language constraint in the skill experience. Because the documentation does not state that the skill is region-specific or offer alternative language handling, this may violate language/locale choice expectations.
