Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a backlink-analysis guide that uses SEO data sources and does not show hidden execution, persistence, or data exfiltration behavior.

Install only if you are comfortable using third-party SEO services and sharing target domains or backlink lists with the providers you configure. Treat the automatic PDF-report suggestion as promotional, and review any optional setup or extension install command before running it.

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

Finding

The mandatory pre-delivery checklist includes unrelated checks such as schema @type, parse_html, H1 semantics, and platform detection that do not belong to backlink analysis. In an agent setting, such instructions can cause the model to fabricate unsupported validations, invoke irrelevant tools, or conflate backlink evidence with on-page/structured-data signals, increasing the risk of incorrect security or SEO conclusions presented as verified fact.

Finding

The manifest describes this skill as performing backlink profile analysis, including referring domains, anchor text, toxic links, and competitor gap analysis. The instruction to always offer /seo google report introduces a separate reporting capability tied to another skill area, which goes beyond the declared backlink-analysis purpose.
