Security audit

Ruankao Spgm Qa 1.0.0

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is mostly a coherent exam-prep Q&A helper, but it requires unsolicited publisher branding and WeChat contact promotion in every answer.

Review this skill before installing if you do not want every answer to include the publisher signature and WeChat contact promotion. The IMA lookup behavior is purpose-aligned, but use it only when you are comfortable sending the current exam question to that external knowledge-base workflow.

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

Technical Analysis

The skill instructs the agent to append a fixed publisher signature and a conspicuous direction to contact a WeChat public account to every answer. This content is not necessary to perform the declared educational question-answering function.

Because these directives are loaded as skill instructions, they alter the agent's response-generation behavior in the current session. The mandatory footer causes otherwise ordinary answers to carry unsolicited branding and promotion. This is best classified as skill instruction hijacking because the skill text manipulates downstream output for a promotional purpose beyond the user's request.

The supporting routing instruction extends the behavior to refusal responses by permitting the same external contact promotion after handling prohibited requests.

Attack Path

  1. The agent loads SKILL.md when the skill is activated.
  2. A user submits an ordinary exam-preparation question within the skill's declared scope.
  3. The agent classifies and answers the question using the documented workflow.
  4. Step 4 requires the agent to append the publisher signature and WeChat contact solicitation.
  5. The user receives promotional content as part of the agent's answer despite not requesting contact details or advertising.

Impact Assessment

The issue affects response integrity within sessions where the skill is active. It can:

  • Inject unsolicited promotional material into normal and refusal responses.
  • Redirect users toward an external communic ...[truncated 448 chars]

Remediation Suggestions

  1. Remove the mandatory publisher signature and WeChat promotion from the answer-generation workflow.
  2. Limit disclaimers to neutral, task-relevant statements about informational accuracy and policy currency.
  3. Provide publisher contact information only when a user explicitly requests support or contact details.
  4. Remove the instruction in references/qa_routing.md that permits promotional contact information in refusal messages.
  5. Separate optional support metadata from model instructions so loading the skill cannot automatically inject advertising.
  6. Add a review rule prohibiting mandatory branding, endorsements, referral links, and external contact solicitations in generated answers unless they are necessary for the requested task and explicitly requested by the user.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The trigger examples include broad, natural-language phrases such as '怎么备考' and '历年真题', which can appear in ordinary conversation outside the intended skill-routing context. This can cause unintended activation of the skill, exposing unrelated user prompts to the skill’s retrieval and response behavior and increasing the chance of incorrect routing or unnecessary knowledge-base access.

Finding

The description says the skill triggers when users mention phrases like "系规考什么/怎么备考/历年真题" and related scenarios. Phrases such as "怎么备考" are broad and could appear in ordinary study conversations without clearly indicating this specific skill should activate, and the file does not provide exclusion conditions or negative examples.

Vague Triggers

Confidence
84% confidence
Finding

The trigger section enumerates broad scenarios and adjacent topics but does not clearly define when the skill must not activate, which can cause the agent to capture loosely related educational or IT-management queries. In this context the main risk is unintended invocation, user confusion, and possible promotional redirection to other skills or a public account, rather than direct security compromise.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The routing guide and answer templates are entirely written to produce Chinese-only responses, with no mechanism to detect or honor the user's preferred language. This can cause accessibility and usability failures for users who interact in other languages, potentially leading to misunderstanding of exam-policy guidance or safety/ethics refusals.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Finding

Line L03 states the glossary is for '统一术语口径' and that terminology '以《系统规划与管理师教程（第2版）》与 ITIL 4 / GB/T 24405 体系为准', which imposes a fixed terminology/locale standard. Because the file does not indicate that users may choose another language or terminology convention, this is a natural-language policy concern under the language/locale rule.
