Security audit

Email Sequence Pack

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill appears to be a thin marketing page for off-platform paid email-marketing assets, with claims about scripts and automation that are not present in the reviewed package.

Review this carefully before installing. The inspected package does not contain the templates or scripts it advertises, and any files obtained through Telegram, PayPal, or crypto payment would be outside this review. Do not run externally delivered Python or JavaScript files unless they receive a separate security review, and do not use the skill for bulk email sending without explicit recipient consent and human review.

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

This is not an embedded-code vulnerability and does not match T01–T09. It is a social-engineering and deceptive-commerce risk. The skill uses unverified feature claims as inducement to direct users to off-platform payment and communication channels.

Remediation

Remediation Suggestions

  1. Remove PayPal, cryptocurrency, and Telegram payment solicitations from the skill package unless explicitly permitted and verified by the distribution platform.
  2. Correct the description so that it lists only files and functionality actually included in the reviewed package.
  3. Include all advertised templates and scripts in the package so they can be audited before users are asked to execute or purchase them.
  4. Distribute paid content through a platform-managed marketplace with seller verification, clear refund terms, receipts, and buyer protection.
  5. Avoid direct cryptocurrency payment requests for digital delivery, particularly where no enforceable refund or dispute process exists.
  6. Add clear seller identity, support, delivery, refund, and privacy information.
  7. Subject any subsequently delivered Python or JavaScript files to a separate security review before execution.
  8. Clearly distinguish free package capabilities from optional paid content without implying that absent assets are included in the installed skill.

Missing User Warnings

High
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

Advertising auto-send, CSV upload, and scheduled delivery without any disclosure of data handling, recipient consent, review steps, or send safeguards is dangerous because these features imply bulk messaging and processing of contact data. In the context of an email-marketing skill, this raises spam, privacy, accidental mass-send, and unauthorized outreach risks, especially if an agent interprets the description as permission to automate delivery.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The skill manifest materially shifts from describing a content-generation utility to soliciting payment through PayPal, Telegram, and crypto, which is unrelated to the declared runtime purpose of the skill. This creates a deceptive trust boundary: users or agents may invoke the skill expecting email-sequence help but instead be funneled to off-platform commerce and contact channels, increasing phishing, fraud, and policy-evasion risk.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The invocation examples are extremely broad and can cause the skill to activate for generic writing requests without clear boundaries, user confirmation, or scope checks. Ambiguous triggering increases the chance of accidental invocation, unintended data use, or inappropriate automation in contexts where the user did not explicitly ask to use this specific skill.
