Laptop Buying Consultant

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a plain instruction-only laptop buying consultation skill with no code execution, persistence, or hidden data movement.

Before installing, expect the agent to ask several buying-context questions, including regional information. You can give country or region instead of precise city if privacy matters, and product suggestions should be treated as starting points that need current availability verification.

A.I.G

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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The activation guidance includes very broad, everyday phrases such as 'help me choose a laptop' and 'best laptop for me', which can cause the skill to trigger in contexts where the user did not explicitly request this structured consultation. Unintended invocation can lead to poor routing, unnecessary questioning, and collection of more user context than needed for the original request.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The skill requires the user's country and city as part of the consultation, even though city-level precision is usually unnecessary to determine laptop specs, keyboard layout, or power compatibility. This creates avoidable collection of location data and increases privacy risk, especially if the skill is triggered broadly or used by minors or sensitive users.
