Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Chinese academic paper-polishing prompt with no code execution, persistence, credential use, or hidden behavior.

Install this only if you want help polishing Chinese psychology or related academic papers. Review outputs carefully to ensure edits preserve your meaning, and avoid pasting confidential manuscript content unless your workspace policy allows it.

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
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The manifest description explicitly defines the skill as a Chinese paper-polishing expert, and the embedded prompt further instructs the model to operate on Chinese core-journal psychology papers. This imposes a specific language/locale behavior without offering the user a choice or documenting a region-specific compliance need.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The prompt text says the assistant specializes in polishing psychology Chinese core-journal papers, which hard-codes a language/locale constraint into the skill behavior. Under the policy, forcing a specific language without user opt-in is a natural-language policy violation unless clearly justified and documented.
