Security audit

Etsy Seller

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a plain Etsy shop advice skill with no executable code, hidden behavior, credential access, or persistence.

This appears safe to install as an advisory Etsy seller skill. Users should treat its Etsy algorithm weights, fees, and third-party tool suggestions as business advice that may need current verification before making shop decisions.

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

Finding

The manifest says to use the skill whenever an Etsy seller asks for help with their shop, listings, tags, descriptions, pricing, or competitor analysis, which is a wide natural-language scope rather than a narrow trigger. It does not provide exclusion conditions or negative examples clarifying when a generic assistant should not invoke this skill.

Finding

The listed conditions are broad requests like wanting help with listings, pricing, descriptions, or competitors, which could match many routine conversations. The section lacks specificity about required Etsy context beyond general seller-related wording and does not say when the skill should not be used.
