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 description says the skill should be called 'when access or automation related to The Paper content is needed,' which is very broad and does not define specific trigger phrases or exclusion conditions. This can overlap with many ordinary browsing, summarization, or news-analysis requests and may cause unintended invocation.
