Prompt Optimizer

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a prompt/persona drafting skill with no executable payload, persistence, credential handling, or hidden data transfer behavior found.

Install only if you want a drafting aid for AI roundtable personas and owner-profile polishing. Provide only the specific profile files you intend it to read, review any generated persona or stance text before use, and be aware that the advertised China AI timeline reference is not included in this package.

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
  • System Prompt LeakageDirect Leakage, Indirect Extraction, Tool-Based Exfiltration
  • YARA SignaturesMalware Match, Webshell Match, Cryptominer Match
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access

Finding

The skill hardcodes a China-specific AI industry timeline as a reference source for profile polishing without indicating that locale selection should be user-driven. This can bias outputs, mis-anchor biographies to the wrong regulatory or industry context, and cause the agent to present inaccurate or inappropriate region-specific claims when the user did not request a China-focused framing.
