Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a LinkedIn content-strategy skill with no code execution, persistence, credential access, or hidden data handling.

Install this if you want LinkedIn positioning and content-planning help. Be aware it includes a promotional booking link from the author, but the skill does not appear to run code or access accounts or private files.

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

Finding

The description is broad enough to activate on generic marketing, lead generation, or content-planning requests that are not specifically about LinkedIn. Over-broad invocation can cause the agent to apply the wrong skill in unrelated contexts, leading to unintended actions, irrelevant advice, or bypass of more appropriate domain-specific safeguards.
