Pillow Buying Consultant

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This instruction-only pillow buying skill is purpose-aligned and disclosed, with a privacy note because it may ask for health and location details.

Before using it, expect to be asked about sleep habits, allergies or sensitivities, possible sleep-related conditions, and location. Share only what you are comfortable sharing; country or region and general comfort needs should usually be enough for a useful recommendation.

Vulnerability Patterns

  • 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

Finding
The skill explicitly directs the agent to collect health-related information (e.g., diagnosed conditions, neck/back pain, sleep apnea, acid reflux) and precise location data (country and city) to complete the consultation, but it provides no user-facing minimization, consent, or privacy disclosure. This creates unnecessary privacy risk because sensitive data may be elicited and retained when less granular or optional inputs could often suffice for pillow recommendations.
