pasm-tutor

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a coherent educational tutoring skill with disclosed local state and no evidence of hidden, destructive, or exfiltrating behavior.

Install only if you are comfortable using a Chinese-language tutoring package that persists student progress and mistake history locally. Review the upstream pasm-agents package before installing in environments with sensitive student data.

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

Finding

The natural-language instructions, examples, and operational guidance are presented only in Chinese from the title onward. This imposes a specific language on users without documenting that the skill is Chinese-only or offering an alternative language, which fits the language/locale policy violation criteria.
