GROMACS Skills

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a Chinese-language GROMACS command reference with examples and cautions, and it does not install code, persist, or access unrelated data.

Install this only if you want GROMACS help, likely in Chinese. Review any generated commands or run scripts before executing them, especially mdrun production jobs, because simulations can consume significant compute and write or overwrite output files.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • MCP Tool PoisoningHidden Instructions, Unicode Deception, Parameter Description Injection
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
87% confidence
Finding

The skill description is very broad and says the skill should be invoked whenever an agent needs to execute GROMACS commands but is unsure of usage, without defining tighter boundaries such as read-only guidance versus command generation versus execution planning. In practice, broad routing can cause over-invocation and increased exposure to risky operational guidance, especially because the skill includes runnable shell examples and production-run script generation.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence

Finding

The manifest description is written entirely in Chinese and does not indicate that language selection depends on user preference or that the skill is region-specific. Under the policy, forcing a specific language without opt-in can be a natural-language policy violation.

Finding

The manifest says the skill covers a specific set of GROMACS commands and categories, emphasizing commands like pdb2gmx, grompp, mdrun, trjconv, energy, rms, covar, make_ndx, select, genion, xpm2ps, check, and wham. This file additionally documents commands not declared in the manifest, including x2top, tune_pme, trjorder, dump, principal, do_dssp, order, rotacf, and dielectric, which broadens the actual documented capability beyond the stated description.

Finding

This markdown file presents its key warning and the remainder of the content in Chinese, with no indication that another language is available or that the locale choice is intentional. Under the stated policy, forcing a specific language without user opt-in is a natural-language policy concern.
