Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The local checker itself is mostly coherent, but the skill mixes it with an AI-directed paid upgrade flow that can install unreviewed software and start a purchase workflow.

Install only if you want a Chinese-language, local Node-based checker for promotion subsidy tables. Treat its free results as limited: it does not validate activity caps despite mentioning the cap rule. Do not follow the paid-upgrade prompt or run the `npx ... @latest` installer unless you separately verify the package, understand the SkillPay purchase flow, and explicitly want to install additional unreviewed skill content.

However, its instructions contain a reusable prompt specifically designed to redirect an AI Agent into an unrelated commercial workflow. That workflow asks the Agent to: 1. Install a third-party package. 2. Read instructions from a newly installed Skill. 3. Initiate the purchase of another product. 4. Continue installing and validating that product after payment confirmation. Loading instructions from newly installed content transfers control to material that was not part of this audit. The effective behavior can consequently extend beyond the reviewed reconciliation logic. The command-line wrapper a ...[truncated 1770 chars]
Remediation
<![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Remove the prompt that directs an AI Agent to install dependencies, load newly installed instructions, initiate a purchase, and continue product installation. 2. Do not inject commercial messages or external purchase links into normal reconciliation results. 3. If product information must be retained, place it in a clearly separated, optional documentation section without imperative Agent instructions. 4. Require the user to initiate any installation or purchase as a distinct task rather than treating it as a continuation of reconciliation. 5. Do not instruct an Agent to trust or execute newly installed instructions automatically. Require a separate security review and explicit user approval first. 6. Keep runtime output limited to requested reconciliation findings, scope limitations, and remediation relevant to those findings. 7. Clearly identify all external content as unaudited and ensure declining the commercial workflow has no effect on the free tool's normal operation. ]]>

T08 · Insecure Dependencies

Warning
Location
SKILL.md:82
Finding
Mutable third-party package is downloaded and executed without version or integrity pinning<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `SKILL.md:82` **Vulnerability Type**: `T08: Insecure Dependencies` **Risk Level**: Medium ### Evidence `SKILL.md:82`: ```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 installation workflow instructs an AI Agent to execute: ```sh npx -y @alipay/agent-payment@latest install ``` The `@latest` tag is mutable and does not identify an immutable, audited release. The `npx` command may download the package from the configured package registry and execute its code. The `-y` option suppresses the normal installation confirmation, reducing the opportunity for review before execution. No exact package version, lockfile, package digest, or integrity hash is supplied. As a result, the software executed in the future may differ from the software intended when this Skill was authored or audited. This creates a supply-chain exposure even though the audited reconciliation scripts themselves use only Node.js standard-library modules. ### Attack Path 1. A user or Agent follows the installation prompt in `SKILL.md`. 2. `npx` resolves the mutable `latest` package version from the configured package registry. 3. The package is downloaded without an exact-version or integrity constraint. 4. Its command-line implementation and any applicable package lifecycle behavior execute with the privileges of the invoking user. 5. If the package release, publisher account, registry response, or dependency chain has been compromised, attacker-controlled code executes locally. 6. That code may then access resources available to the invoking account, subject to operating-system and runtime restrictions. ### Impact Assessment Successful exploitation could provide arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running `npx`. Depending on that user's permissions, executable package code could read or modify accessible files, inspect environment variables, make network r ...[truncated 451 chars]
Remediation
<![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Remove the dependency-installation command because it is not required for the bundled reconciliation function. 2. If the dependency is genuinely necessary, pin a reviewed exact version rather than using `@latest`. 3. Verify package provenance and publish an expected package digest or integrity value through a trusted channel. 4. Avoid `npx -y`; preserve an explicit confirmation step immediately before downloading or executing third-party code. 5. Review the exact package archive, transitive dependencies, lifecycle scripts, and published provenance before recommending execution. 6. Execute external installers in a restricted environment with minimal filesystem access, no unnecessary credentials, and no elevated privileges. 7. Separate dependency installation from purchase authorization and require distinct, informed user approval for each operation. 8. Re-audit the dependency whenever its pinned version changes. ]]>

Intent-Code Divergence

High
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
The file-level documentation states cap handling is part of the core arithmetic, but the code intentionally withholds that validation. In a financial-control skill, this mismatch is dangerous because operators may rely on the documented behavior and fail to manually review the highest-risk condition the comments themselves identify as easy to miss.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding
The engine advertises subsidy reconciliation while omitting the cap validation, yet still reports a basis that says payable subsidy must not exceed the activity cap. This can cause users to trust incorrect under-detection results and miss overclaimed or overstated subsidies, directly affecting financial settlement decisions.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The description says the skill is triggered by phrases including “补贴核销” and “应结补贴,” which are generic domain phrases rather than clearly scoped invocation commands. Without tighter constraints or exclusion conditions, ordinary discussion of subsidy reconciliation could unintentionally invoke the skill.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The documentation says the free version excludes several checks, but elsewhere claims it executes whatever checks the bundled engine declares. That mismatch can mislead users and downstream agents about what logic actually runs, undermining informed consent and enabling hidden or expanded behavior in the packaged engine.

Ssd 4

Medium
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding
The embedded script explicitly instructs another AI assistant to install dependencies, read newly installed skill files, and continue toward purchasing a separate product, while framing authorization as already granted except for wallet confirmation. This is dangerous because it is prompt-injection-style agent steering toward progressive external actions, dependency installation, and payment-related workflow beyond the declared purpose of the current skill.

Rp1

Medium
Category
MCP Rug Pull
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs use of `npx -y @alipay/agent-payment@latest install`, which fetches and executes remote code without a pinned version or integrity control. In a skill that otherwise presents itself as local and safe, this creates a supply-chain execution path where a compromised or changed package version could run arbitrary code or alter purchase/install behavior.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
This code file contains extensive natural-language instructions, labels, and advice entirely in Chinese, including the documented contract and operational guidance. There is no indication that the skill is region-specific or that users can opt into another language, which conflicts with the policy against forcing a specific language without user opt-in.

Intent-Code Divergence

Medium
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding
The result summary tells users the basis includes the cap rule even though no cap validation was executed. That creates a false assurance problem: a clean report can be interpreted as confirming capped subsidies are correct when the most important exception path was never checked.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The natural-language interface, help text, status messages, and usage instructions are all presented only in Chinese. This effectively forces a specific language/locale on users without any explicit opt-in or documented regional limitation, which matches the language/locale policy violation criteria.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Confidence
83% confidence
Finding
Natural-language instructions, usage guidance, and purchase flow are predominantly presented only in Chinese, while the policy requires avoiding forced language constraints unless users can opt in or the restriction is justified. Although there is a brief English description, the operational guidance is not offered in English or framed as a China-only tool.

Intent-Code Divergence

Low
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The skill advertises 'no network' and fully local behavior, but later includes multiple external URLs and explicit instructions to use remote purchase/install services. This contradiction can lower operator caution and cause agents or users to trust the skill under a false local-only assumption while being exposed to network actions.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Low
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The skill's stated purpose is local subsidy reconciliation, yet it embeds detailed instructions to buy and install another product. This mixes analysis functionality with upsell/onboarding behavior, increasing the chance that an agent follows unrelated commercial steps and is steered into external transactions not required for the user's immediate task.

Intent-Code Divergence

Low
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding
The inline documentation says non-JSON input will be handled as plain-text material, giving '直接粘贴的合同全文' as an example. That conflicts with the manifest and surrounding help text, which say the skill is for checking promotional subsidy reconciliation tables with headers, not arbitrary contract text.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding
The JSON sample contains only Chinese headers and content, which signals a fixed language/locale in natural-language material. Under the policy, locale-specific language should either be optional for the user or clearly justified as region-specific, neither of which is present in this file.
