Security audit

Blog Content Planner

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple blog-planning prompt skill with no executable code, but it includes visible payment promotion that users should notice before installing.

Install only if you are comfortable with a skill that embeds a visible paid upgrade pitch and payment links inside its instructions. From the inspected files, it does not run code, persist changes, or access private data.

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
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • MCP Tool PoisoningHidden Instructions, Unicode Deception, Parameter Description Injection

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The activation examples use broad natural-language requests that closely resemble ordinary user prompts, which can cause accidental or over-broad skill invocation when a user is asking for generic content help. In agent ecosystems, ambiguous triggering increases the chance that unreviewed skill behavior, promotional content, or external links are surfaced without clear user intent.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The manifest describes a content-planning skill for generating blog strategy artifacts, but these lines add commercial upsell and payment instructions, including a PayPal link and crypto wallet address. Selling or collecting payment information is not a direct or obvious requirement of planning blog content.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
78% confidence
Finding

The manifest positions the skill as a planner for blog content calendars, topic clusters, and editorial workflows. The claim about providing 'production-ready templates, Python scripts, and real examples' expands the described behavior into code/script generation, which is not reflected in the planning-oriented manifest description.
