Security audit

Release Notes Humanizer

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a Markdown-only writing aid for turning release artifacts into customer-facing release notes, with no executable code or hidden system access.

This appears safe to install as a release-notes writing helper. Users should be aware that broad trigger phrases may invoke it during general changelog or versioning discussions, so review outputs before publishing and avoid providing sensitive unreleased details unless they are intended for release-note drafting.

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

Finding

The trigger list includes very broad phrases such as "release notes," "changelog," "what's new," and "semver," which are common in normal conversation and documentation workflows. This can cause the skill to activate in contexts where the user did not intend to invoke it, increasing the chance of prompt hijacking, accidental data processing, or interference with other more appropriate skills.
