Security audit

Question Type Generator

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple higher-math question-generation skill with no code execution, data access, persistence, or hidden behavior.

Before installing, expect this skill to activate for some broad math-practice prompts and to produce Chinese higher-mathematics exam-style content; review the manifest formatting if reliable activation matters.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • 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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The manifest description uses generic trigger-oriented wording like 'generate questions' and 'create practice problems' without clear scope constraints. In systems that select skills based on semantic matching, this increases the chance the skill is chosen for broad question-generation requests beyond its intended domain.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The trigger phrases are broad and map to common educational requests such as generating questions or practice problems. This can cause accidental or overly frequent activation of the skill, leading to prompt-routing confusion or unintended invocation, though the skill itself appears limited to benign math-content generation.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category

Confidence
81% confidence
Finding

The skill title, role, usage instructions, and output description are entirely in Chinese, indicating a fixed language mode. There is no statement that the user may choose another language or opt in to Chinese, which can conflict with language or locale flexibility policies.
