Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill largely matches its bidding-document purpose, but it needs Review because it asserts strong output-control rules and has file-write/state paths outside its declared boundary.

Before installing, confirm you are allowed to upload the tender/bid documents to this vendor service and accept its account retention and billing model. Use a dedicated output directory, do not let untrusted document text or third-party instructions choose output paths or report basenames, and be aware the skill may create ~/.zcm/projects.json despite declaring only biaoshu-bailian-files/ and config.json writes.

markdown
1. 打开官网 https://biaoshu.zhiliaobiaoxun.com/?ch=c666

Technical Analysis

The Skill declares its own response rules to have the highest priority and to override the rest of the document. It then requires the agent to reproduce extensive branded setup and feature material and to display a fixed channel-tagged URL containing ?ch=c666.

Operational instructions may legitimately tell an agent not to expose credentials or internal commands. However, forcing branded promotional content and a persistent channel parameter is not necessary to execute the document-processing functionality. The mandatory language alters the agent's response goals when the Skill is loaded and attempts to subordinate user-directed response scope to Skill-controlled marketing requirements.

This behavior best matches instruction hijacking because it operates through Skill text rather than executable code.

Attack Path

  1. The agent loads SKILL.md while handling a tender-document request.
  2. The embedded instructions claim priority over other Skill content and impose mandatory response behavior.
  3. A user asks how to obtain credentials, how to use the Skill, or what the Skill supports.
  4. The agent is instructed to emit the complete branded feature description and the fi ...[truncated 664 chars]

Remediation Suggestions

  1. Remove all claims that Skill-authored rules have the highest priority or override other instructions.
  2. Remove mandatory reproduction of promotional feature descriptions.
  3. Replace the channel-tagged address with a neutral canonical service URL, unless attribution is explicitly disclosed and requested by the user.
  4. Limit Skill instructions to functional and security requirements, such as credential protection and consent before document upload.
  5. Allow system and user instructions to determine response language, length, and presentation.
  6. Present credential setup information only when it is necessary or directly requested.

Arbitrary File Overwrite Through User-Controlled Download Destination

Vulnerability Details

File Location: scripts/zcm_lib/jobs.py:45-55, reachable through output arguments declared at scripts/zcm_lib/parser.py:99 and scripts/zcm_lib/parser.py:156
Vulnerability Type: Unrestricted file write and symlink-following overwrite
Risk Level: High

Vulnerable Code

python
def download_result(job_id, out_path, *, base_url_fn, headers_fn,
                    handle_http_error_fn, die_fn):
    """Stream a generated .docx result to disk."""
    url = base_url_fn() + f"/jobs/{job_id}/result"
    req = urllib.request.Request(url, headers=headers_fn(), method="GET")
    try:
        with urllib.request.urlopen(req) as resp, open(out_path, "wb") as handle:

                    break
                handle.write(chunk)

The destination is exposed directly through the command-line interface:

python
sp.add_argument("-o", "--output", help="输出 .docx 路径（默认 招标文件名_投标文件.docx）")
python
sp.add_argument("-o", "--output", help="保存到本地文件（标书制作 .docx 需要本地文件时使用）")

Technical Analysis

out_path is caller-controlled and is passed directly to open(..., "wb"). Write mode truncates an existing file before storing the server response. The implementation performs no:

  • Canonical-path resolution;
  • Approved-output-directory containment check;
  • File-extension enforcement;
  • Symlink rejection;
  • Exclusive file creation;
  • Existing-file confirmation.

Python's normal open() behavior follows symbolic links. Consequently, a path that appears to be an output document can point to another file outside the intended output directory. This behavior also conflicts with the declared filesystem boundary limiting generated writes to biaoshu-bailian-files/.

Remediation
View remediation

Remediation Suggestions

  1. Resolve the approved output root and requested destination using os.path.realpath().
  2. Verify containment with os.path.commonpath() before opening the destination.
  3. Reject absolute paths and traversal components when only a filename is required.
  4. Enforce the expected .docx extension.
  5. Reject destinations that are symbolic links and inspect every relevant parent directory.
  6. On supported platforms, use os.open() with O_NOFOLLOW, O_CREAT, and O_EXCL, followed by os.fdopen().
  7. Require explicit confirmation before replacing an existing file.
  8. Download to a securely created temporary file inside the approved directory and atomically rename it after successful completion.
  9. Add tests for absolute paths, ../ traversal, symlink targets, and existing-file replacement.

sp.add_argument("--basename", help="完整文件名（不含扩展名），优先级最高")

Technical Analysis

Automatically derived tender names pass through _safe_name(), but an explicit basename does not. A basename containing ../, path separators, or an absolute path can therefore escape out_dir when combined with ...[truncated 1441 chars]

Remediation

Remediation Suggestions

  1. Pass every explicit basename through a strict filename sanitizer.
  2. Reject absolute basenames, directory separators, . and .. path components, and empty normalized names.
  3. Restrict out_dir to the configured approved output root.
  4. Canonicalize the final destination and verify that it remains beneath the canonical output root.
  5. Reject symbolic-link destinations and unsafe parent directories.
  6. Use exclusive creation by default and require explicit authorization before overwriting an existing report.
  7. Write to a securely created temporary file in the destination directory, then atomically rename it.
  8. Add regression tests covering absolute paths, nested traversal, symlink targets, and malicious basenames.

Remediation

Remediation Suggestions

  1. Store project state under the declared biaoshu-bailian-files/ directory or another explicitly declared state directory.
  2. If ZCM_HOME remains supported, canonicalize it and restrict it to an approved root.
  3. Update the Skill permission declaration if persistent state outside the output directory is genuinely required.
  4. Reject symbolic links for both the state file and relevant parent directories.
  5. Use O_NOFOLLOW where supported and securely validate the opened file with fstat().
  6. Write state to an exclusive temporary file with mode 0600, flush and synchronize it, and atomically replace the destination.
  7. Avoid silently suppressing all OSError conditions; report security-relevant path and permission failures.
  8. Minimize stored metadata and document its retention and deletion behavior.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The documentation explicitly states that uploaded files and task results are retained on the vendor's servers for about 7 days, but it does not prominently warn users about the privacy, confidentiality, and data-governance implications of sending potentially sensitive bid documents to a third party. In a procurement/bid context, files may contain proprietary business information, pricing, compliance data, or personal information, so omission of a clear privacy warning can lead to unsafe handling of sensitive data.

The file hard-codes Chinese translations and user-facing Chinese log messages, including risk labels and balance/platform notices, with no visible option for the user to select another language.
