Security audit

Kdp Author Coach

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a plain Markdown coaching skill for Amazon KDP publishing, with no code execution, persistence, credential use, or hidden system behavior.

Before relying on the advice, users should verify current Amazon KDP, Ads, KU, and review policies because publishing rules and royalty economics can change. For non-English markets, adapt examples and blurb conventions to the target language and locale.

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

Finding

The blurb template and examples are presented as the default bestseller pattern using English rhetorical structures and English trope tags, with no opt-in or caveat for non-English markets. Elsewhere the file explicitly covers German, French, and Spanish KDP markets, so this default English-centric guidance can conflict with a language/locale choice policy.
