Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward content-tracking guide that searches or monitors public content and saves local Markdown briefs, with no hidden code or privilege-seeking behavior in the artifact.

Before installing, confirm you are comfortable with a tracking skill that fetches public web/news content and creates local Markdown briefs. Review the separate topic_tracking dependency as well, since this artifact declares it but does not include its implementation.

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

Missing User Warnings

Low

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 90% confidence
Finding: The skill documentation explicitly states that all tracking results are saved as Markdown briefs under a local path. For markdown files, SQP-2 applies when descriptions omit warnings about behaviors affecting user data or system state, and there is no warning here about automatic file creation or storage location implications.
