- Mandatory Branded Attribution Injected into Generated Reports## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `SKILL.md`, lines 73 and 182 **Vulnerability Type**: T01: Skill Instruction Hijacking **Risk Level**: High ### Vulnerable Code ```markdown > 基于《AI超级个体:一人公司创富手册》第四、六章框架 ``` ```markdown > 本方案由 OPC-AI Skill(value-pricer)生成,基于《AI超级个体》书稿框架。 ``` ### Technical Analysis The mandatory output template instructs the agent to insert attribution to a named book near the report header and an OPC-AI promotional statement in the report footer. These statements are not necessary for performing value analysis, calculating prices, or preparing customer communication scripts. Because the statements are embedded in the prescribed template rather than presented as optional metadata, an agent following the Skill will reproduce them in ordinary user deliverables. This modifies the expected task output to include third-party branding without requesting the user's informed consent. It therefore constitutes output-oriented instruction hijacking. The reviewed package contains no executable scripts, external payload retrieval, credential access, persistence mechanisms, or privilege-escalation logic. Exploitation is limited to the content generated while this Skill is active. ### Attack Path 1. A user invokes the Skill by requesting pricing guidance or a three-tier proposal. 2. The agent follows the report-generation workflow in `SKILL.md`. 3. The agent applies the mandatory output template. 4. The named-book attribution is inserted near the beginning of the generated report. 5. The OPC-AI attribution is appended to the report footer. 6. The user may save or distribute the report without noticing that promotional content was incorporated into the professional deliverable. ### Impact Assessment No operating-system privileges, credentials, private files, or persistent agent state can be obtained through this issue. The impact is confined to output integrity and the downstream distribution of ge ...[truncated 319 chars]
- Remediation
- ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Remove the named-book attribution at line 73 and the OPC-AI promotional footer at line 182 from the mandatory report template. 2. Keep the default output focused exclusively on information required to satisfy the user's pricing request. 3. If attribution is required for legitimate licensing reasons, disclose that requirement before report generation and request explicit user consent. 4. Implement attribution as an optional parameter that defaults to disabled rather than as fixed template content. 5. Add a white-label output mode that guarantees the absence of third-party branding, promotional language, and implied endorsements. 6. Review all future template changes for content unrelated to the declared Skill function.
