Ads Bid Optimizer

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a markdown-only ad bidding advisor with broad trigger wording, but it does not request tools, credentials, persistence, or account-changing authority.

Before installing, consider that this skill may be invoked for broad growth or revenue prompts; use it as decision support for paid advertising, verify all metrics and platform policy assumptions, and avoid treating its budget recommendations as automatic authorization to spend.

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
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The 'When To Trigger' section uses broad criteria like 'ad execution guidance tied to business outcomes' and 'growth decisions involving revenue, roas, cpa, or budget efficiency' without defining exclusion conditions. In an agent environment, ambiguous activation increases the chance of misrouting general business strategy prompts into this specialized skill, which can produce inappropriate or overconfident recommendations.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The trigger keywords are broad business and marketing terms such as 'growth', 'revenue', 'profit', and 'traffic', which are likely to appear in many unrelated requests. This can cause the skill to activate outside its intended ads-bidding scope, leading to incorrect delegation, lower-quality responses, or unintended influence over decisions in adjacent domains.
