Security audit

Abnt Citation

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a narrow ABNT citation-formatting skill with no executable code, network behavior, persistence, or hidden data handling.

Before installing, note that the skill is intended for ABNT academic references and may default to Brazilian Portuguese. It appears safe for citation formatting, but users should still review generated references against the applicable ABNT standard for accuracy.

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
  • 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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

The trigger 'Informar dados de livro, artigo, site etc. e pedir formatação' is ambiguous because 'pedir formatação' is a common request that could overlap with many non-ABNT formatting tasks. The description does not clearly constrain this trigger to bibliography/reference formatting only or provide exclusion examples.

Confidence

Finding

The line states that all communication and explanation are in Brazilian Portuguese, which imposes a language choice by default. The file does not indicate that the user can choose another language or explicitly opt in to Portuguese-only interaction.
