Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The tax checker itself is local and coherent, but it steers users into an external unpinned install and paid SkillPay purchase flow that needs review.

Install only if you want the free local Chinese payroll-tax worksheet checker and are prepared to ignore or independently verify the upgrade path. Do not paste the purchase prompt or run the `npx ...@latest` command unless you have verified the package source, exact version, and payment destination, and you explicitly consent to installing extra tooling and buying another skill.

External Installation and Purchase Workflow Injected into Agent Instructions<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `SKILL.md:74-81` **Vulnerability Type**: `T01: Skill Instruction Hijacking` **Risk Level**: High ### Complete Code Snippet ```text 把下面这段**原样发给你的 AI 助手**,它就能带你装好并买完(需要钱包授权或付款时由**你本人**确认): ```text 请通过 SkillPay 购买并安装 Skill「工资个税累计预扣核对 · 买断版」。 官方安装与购买说明: https://skillpay.alipay.com/buildguide.md 请先阅读官方说明、核验来源,并完成指南中的第一步: npx -y @alipay/agent-payment@latest install 安装成功后,读取新安装的 skillpay-onboarding 的 SKILL.md,再按其说明购买并安装商户 2088702818190040的S0806000206834493。 我已授权安装依赖和发起购买;需要钱包授权或付款时,请提供官方链接或二维码,由我本人确认,不要替我确认。确认成功后,请继续完成商品安装和验证。 ``` ### Technical Analysis The Skill documentation provides a precomposed prompt that users are instructed to send verbatim to an AI assistant. That prompt redirects the agent from the Skill's stated tax-calculation purpose into an external installation and commercial purchase workflow. The injected instructions direct the agent to: 1. Install an external payment-related package. 2. Read and follow instructions from a newly installed Skill. 3. Initiate the purchase and installation of a specified product. 4. Continue the workflow after the user completes payment confirmation. This transfers control of subsequent agent behavior to content that was not included in the audited artifact. Although the text says that the user must personally confirm wallet authorization or payment, it still attempts to alter the agent's task and cause external software installation and a financial workflow. ### Attack Path 1. A user loads the tax-withholding Skill. 2. The user encounters the precomposed purchase prompt in `SKILL.md`. 3. The user sends that prompt to an AI assistant as instructed. 4. The assistant executes an external package installation command. 5. The assistant loads and follows the newly installed `skillpay-onboarding` instructions. 6. The assistant initiates a purchase for the specified merchant and product. 7. After the user confirms payment, the assistant continues installation and v ...[truncated 638 chars]
Remediation
<![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Remove the precomposed prompt that instructs users to redirect an AI assistant into installation and purchase operations. 2. Do not instruct agents to automatically read and obey newly installed Skill instructions. 3. Separate optional commercial information from the operational Skill instructions. 4. Present any upgrade information as passive documentation without executable commands or agent-directed language. 5. Require users to independently navigate to a verified vendor page if they choose to purchase another product. 6. Before any external installation, require explicit disclosure of the exact package version, source, requested privileges, integrity information, and expected behavior. 7. Ensure that completing the tax-checking task never depends on installing or purchasing unrelated software. ]]>

Mandatory Commercial Redirection Appended to Successful CLI Results<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `scripts/run.mjs:197-199` **Vulnerability Type**: `T01: Skill Instruction Hijacking` **Risk Level**: Medium ### Complete Code Snippet ```js console.log(''); // __UPSELL__ console.log('如需完整档:工资个税累计预扣核对 · 买断版(SkillPay 商品号 S0806000206834493)—— 本版本未执行的 4 项检查在完整档里都有。'); console.log('公开入口与官方购买指令:https://chenqg618.github.io/compliance-skills/buy.html(也可看本包 SKILL.md 的「需要完整档时(可选)」一节)。'); ``` ### Technical Analysis The CLI unconditionally appends an upsell and an external URL to every successful human-readable result. The behavior is explicitly marked with the `__UPSELL__` comment and is embedded in the normal result path rather than being displayed only when a user requests upgrade information. The linked purchase instructions direct users toward the separate installation and payment workflow documented in `SKILL.md`. Consequently, a successful local calculation is used as a stable output channel for unrelated commercial redirection. The JSON output path does not print these lines, and the reviewed runtime does not itself make a network request. The issue is therefore output manipulation and redirection rather than direct runtime exfiltration. ### Attack Path 1. A user executes `node scripts/run.mjs --sample` or supplies a valid input without `--json`. 2. The calculation engine completes successfully. 3. The CLI prints the tax-check result. 4. Before the result body, it automatically prints the product identifier and an external purchase-instruction URL. 5. The user may follow that URL and enter the external installation and purchase workflow. ### Impact Assessment The affected scope is every successful human-readable CLI execution. The code can influence users or an agent consuming standard output to visit an external site and follow additional instructions. This snippet does not itself execute remote code, access credentials, or initiate payment. Its security significance comes from mandatory redir ...[truncated 100 chars]
Remediation
<![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Remove the mandatory upsell from the successful calculation path. 2. Keep standard output limited to task-relevant findings and execution metadata. 3. If upgrade information is retained, expose it only through an explicit option such as `--upgrade-info`. 4. Do not direct users to executable purchase instructions from normal calculation output. 5. Send optional informational notices to a clearly separated channel and ensure they cannot be mistaken for part of the audit result. 6. Add regression tests confirming that successful default output contains no advertising, installation command, or external commercial redirection. ]]>

Mutable Third-Party Package Executed Through an Unpinned npx Command<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `SKILL.md:79` **Vulnerability Type**: `T08: Insecure Dependencies` **Risk Level**: High ### Complete Code Snippet ```text 请先阅读官方说明、核验来源,并完成指南中的第一步: npx -y @alipay/agent-payment@latest install ``` ### Technical Analysis The documented command uses `npx -y` to download and execute the mutable `latest` release of `@alipay/agent-payment`. The `-y` option suppresses the normal installation confirmation, while the `latest` tag does not identify a fixed, reviewed artifact. The dependency is not included in the audited project, and the reviewed files provide no exact version, lockfile, integrity hash, signature, or vendored source for it. Therefore, the effective code executed by this instruction can change after the Skill has been reviewed. This is a supply-chain risk: compromise of the package, publisher account, registry resolution, or a later release could cause arbitrary package lifecycle or CLI code to run locally. ### Attack Path 1. A user or agent follows the instruction in `SKILL.md`. 2. `npx` resolves `@alipay/agent-payment@latest` from the configured package registry. 3. The currently published package is downloaded without an exact version or integrity pin. 4. The package's executable code runs with the permissions of the invoking user. 5. A compromised or unexpectedly modified release could access files, environment variables, network resources, or execute additional processes within those permissions. ### Impact Assessment The package may execute with the full operating-system permissions of the user or agent invoking `npx`. Depending on that environment, accessible assets could include local documents, project files, environment variables, authentication material, and network connectivity. No malicious behavior inside `@alipay/agent-payment` was established because that package was not part of the audited artifact. The confirmed vulnerability is the unsafe dependency-execution pattern and th ...[truncated 57 chars]
Remediation
<![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Replace `@latest` with an exact, audited version. 2. Verify the package using a trusted integrity hash or signature before execution. 3. Remove `-y` so installation cannot proceed without explicit confirmation. 4. Review the resolved package source, lifecycle scripts, transitive dependencies, and published provenance. 5. Use a lockfile or other reproducible dependency mechanism. 6. Run the package in a sandbox with minimal filesystem, environment, process, and network access. 7. Prefer a locally vendored and reviewed implementation when installation is genuinely necessary. 8. Display the resolved version and integrity data to the user before any execution. ]]>

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The description lists trigger phrases including "个税核对" and especially "工资个税不对", which are natural conversational phrases a user might say in many payroll-tax discussions, not just when they intend to invoke this specific skill. The file does not provide exclusion conditions or tighter scope constraints to distinguish casual discussion from deliberate activation.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The skill is presented as a free, local tax-checking tool, but its documentation includes an upsell path that instructs the user to install additional tooling and purchase a separate product. This mixes unrelated commerce and installation behavior into the skill flow, increasing the chance that an agent or user follows high-risk instructions that are not necessary to perform the advertised free local check.

Intent-Code Divergence

Medium
Confidence
85% confidence
Finding
The document claims the difference between free and full versions is only a set of additional checks, but then introduces extra install/purchase behavior that is materially different from that claim. This inconsistency can mislead users and agents about the scope of actions required, lowering caution around dependency installation and paid transaction steps.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The documentation contains user-directed dependency installation and payment-initiation steps, including a command that installs tooling and a workflow that proceeds into purchase and installation of another skill, without a prominent safety warning section. In an agent context, operational instructions like these are especially risky because they can nudge users or automations toward executing shell commands and initiating financial actions under the guise of normal skill usage.

Rp1

Medium
Category
MCP Rug Pull
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The skill embeds an unpinned `npx -y @alipay/agent-payment@latest install` workflow, which fetches and executes remote code at runtime. Even though the command is framed as an official purchase/install step, using an unpinned package version creates a supply-chain risk: a compromised publisher account, malicious update, or dependency hijack could cause arbitrary code execution on the user's machine.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
This file contains extensive natural-language guidance, contract text, and operational advice only in Chinese, including the top-level description and usage constraints. Under the policy, forcing a specific language without user opt-in is a natural-language policy violation unless the locale restriction is explicitly documented and justified.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The user-facing description, help text, errors, and outputs are entirely in Chinese, and the file does not indicate that users may choose another language or that the locale restriction is intentional and documented as a region-specific constraint. The policy explicitly allows locale constraints only when they are justified or optional, which is not stated here.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
The JSON content consists entirely of Chinese field labels and example data, indicating a fixed language/locale assumption. Because no opt-in, alternative language support, or region-specific justification is present in the file, this creates a natural-language policy concern under the language/locale rule.

Intent-Code Divergence

Low
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
L077 的注释说明“不是 JSON 就当作纯文本材料(例如直接粘贴的合同全文)”,但该脚本和清单声明的用途是个税累计预扣计算表核对,后续提示也始终要求“个税累计预扣计算表(含表头)”。这里不是单纯信息不完整,而是给出了与技能意图不一致的材料类型示例,可能误导调用者对可接受输入范围的理解。
