Analytics Agent

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a plain analytics-reporting skill, but it handles sensitive business and financial metrics and tells the agent to send reports to an unclear recipient without enough scoping.

Before installing, confirm who Thomas is, what data may be included in reports, which channel is approved, and whether payment, lead, revenue, log, or trading data must be redacted. Define the 'Major Events' trigger so reports are generated only for intended events.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Finding

Natural-language policy review applies to all file types. The skill instructions and operational content are presented in German throughout, which effectively forces a specific language without any user opt-in or explanation that the skill is intentionally limited to a German-speaking context.

Missing User Warnings

Finding

The instruction to send reports 'An Thomas' introduces a data-sharing action without specifying who Thomas is, what data may be included, or whether the recipient is authorized to receive potentially sensitive business metrics. Because the skill covers trading performance, app payments/errors, leads, and revenue, accidental disclosure of confidential or personal data is a realistic risk.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The trigger 'Nach Major Events' is underspecified and can cause the skill to run after undefined or overly broad events, leading to unexpected report generation or data processing. In a skill that aggregates trading, app, freelance, and marketing data, this ambiguity increases the chance of unauthorized or excessive access, especially if automated systems interpret 'major events' differently.
