20 Agent Security Questions

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill appears benign: it only documents a Chinese-language question collection workflow and ships a tiny script that prints usage text.

Installers should understand that this appears to be a Chinese-language, mostly documentation-only skill. It currently does not implement the advertised add/list/analyze commands beyond printing usage, so evaluate it as a lightweight template rather than a complete workflow.

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

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The manifest description and the visible user-facing sections of the skill are entirely in Chinese, which imposes a specific language on users without indicating that other languages are supported or optional. Under the policy, locale or language constraints should either be optional or clearly justified.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The script prints its title and usage instructions only in Chinese, which imposes a specific language on users without any opt-in or indication that the skill is intended for a Chinese-only context. This matches the policy category for language or locale constraints expressed in natural-language content.
