📰 Morning Tech & Finance Digest

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a simple news-digest prompt that uses public web search and does not contain code, credential access, or hidden persistence.

Before installing, understand that the skill will rely on web search or similar network access to gather current public news. Verify important finance or market-moving claims against the linked original sources, and note that the weekend caching behavior is described conceptually rather than implemented in this artifact.

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 file includes a separate Chinese-language instruction block that tells users to invoke the skill with a Chinese phrase, but nowhere states that language is optional or user-selectable. Because the skill presents fixed locale-specific usage patterns rather than an explicit opt-in or language choice, it risks violating language/locale policy requirements.
