Email Writer

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple email-writing skill with disclosed templates and guidance, and I found no executable code, hidden persistence, credential use, or data exfiltration behavior.

Before installing, expect a mostly Chinese-language template set despite the English general-purpose description. Do not grant any future version email-account, tracking, or sending permissions unless those integrations are clearly disclosed and user-controlled.

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

This markdown file mixes an English description with examples, templates, and operational guidance that are predominantly in Chinese. Because the skill does not state that it is China/Chinese-specific or offer users a language choice, it effectively imposes a locale/language constraint without opt-in.
