Treadmill Buying Consultant

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is an instruction-only treadmill shopping guide, and the scanner concerns were only table spacing after inspection.

Installers should understand that the skill may ask for height, weight, joint-health context, city/country, and room details to make buying recommendations. No code execution or credential access is present, but users should still avoid sharing more personal detail than needed.

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
  • 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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

### R1 — Technical Specifications

| Spec                  | What It Measures                      | Standard Range                                                           | Why It Matters                                                                                      | Listing Label                                             |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| Motor Power (CHP)     | Continuous usable power output        | 1.5–4.0+ CHP                                                             | Determines long-term motor endurance under load; peak HP is a misleading marketing metric           | "CHP", "continuous duty HP", "motor HP"                   |
| Belt Size             | Running surface (W × L)               | 18"–22" wide, 50"–62" long                                               | Determines if stride fits safely; inadequate length causes shortened stride and injury risk         | "running surface", "belt size", "tread belt"              |

Finding
Large whitespace padding was detected (a block of blank lines or a long run of spaces). This can push injected instructions below or to the right of the visible area so a human reviewer never sees them while the agent still reads them. Manual review of the hidden content is recommended.

### R2 — Factors That Determine Required Specs

| Factor                             | Affected Spec(s)                                            | Direction of Effect                                                                                               |
| ---------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| User body weight                   | Weight capacity, motor CHP                                  | Higher weight → higher capacity buffer needed; heavier users stress motors more                                   |
| User height                        | Belt length                                                 | Taller users (>6 ft / 183 cm) need belts ≥ 60" long for full stride                                               |
