VDOT Running Calculator

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a self-contained running pace calculator skill with no code execution, network access, installs, persistence, or hidden data handling.

Install this if you want an agent to calculate VDOT-style running training paces from a recent race result. Treat the paces as training guidance, not medical advice, especially if you are injured, new to structured training, or have cardiovascular concerns.

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
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The skill advertises itself for broad trigger phrases like general running pace calculators, race predictions, and "what pace should I run" questions, which can overlap with many common fitness queries and cause the agent to invoke this skill too aggressively. Over-broad routing can lead to incorrect tool selection, reduced answer quality, and in health/fitness contexts may give users prescriptive training guidance when they did not explicitly request this calculator-driven method.
