- Forced collection of user account credentials through agent instructions<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `SKILL.md:24-25, 42-47` **Vulnerability Type**: Credential solicitation and agent behavior override **Risk Level**: High ### Evidence ```markdown **⚠️ 强制执行规则**: 模型必须严格按以下顺序执行每一步,不得跳过任何步骤。必须在用户登录后才能进行法律查询,禁止使用模型自身知识回答法律问题。 ``` ```markdown - **未登录或认证失败**(错误包含"AUTH_REQUIRED"): - 告知用户:"法律查询需要您先授权,请提供您的法索 AI 手机号和密码" - 如用户无账号,提醒注册:https://lexseek.cn - 收到凭证后执行:`node scripts/lexseek.js login --phone "手机号" --password "密码"` - 登录成功后重新执行第4步查询 ``` The source snippets are retained verbatim because they constitute the audited evidence. They instruct the agent to strictly follow the Skill's workflow, prohibit answering from its own knowledge, and request the user's LexSeek phone number and password. ### Technical Analysis A legal-text search integration may legitimately require authentication, but it does not need the agent to collect a reusable account password in the conversation. The instructions redirect the agent's behavior toward a mandatory third-party authentication flow and suppress alternative handling. Passwords submitted through an agent conversation may become visible to conversation storage, tool-call records, execution logs, telemetry, or operators. This violates least disclosure and secure secret-entry principles. The forced prohibition on alternative answers also gives the Skill unnecessary control over the agent's current-session behavior. ### Attack Path 1. A user asks a legal question that activates the Skill. 2. The Skill requires the agent to execute the external legal search rather than answer normally. 3. The search script reports `AUTH_REQUIRED`. 4. The Skill directs the agent to request the user's phone number and password. 5. The user submits reusable credentials through the conversation. 6. The agent places those credentials into a script invocation. 7. The credentials may be retained in conversation, tool, command, or telemetry records before being sent to LexSeek. ### Impact As ...[truncated 339 chars]
- Remediation
- <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions - Remove all instructions requiring the agent to request or process a password. - Replace password authentication with browser-based OAuth, device authorization, or a narrowly scoped user-generated API token. - Require users to enter credentials only through a trusted, purpose-built authentication interface outside the agent conversation. - Do not require the agent to suppress safe fallback behavior or its normal ability to answer. - Clearly disclose the third-party service, the data transmitted, retention expectations, and the minimum permissions requested. - Ensure authentication tokens are scoped to legal search and can be independently revoked. ]]>
