Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This job-search skill is purpose-aligned and requires user confirmation before sensitive answers or application submissions.

Before installing, expect the skill to work with personal career information and to draft application materials. Review salary, work authorization, availability, and all final application content yourself before approving any submission.

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

Finding

This template includes fields for salary expectations, work authorization, and availability but does not explicitly warn that these answers must be verified by the user before submission. In a high-volume job application workflow, omission of that warning increases the chance the agent or operator will submit inaccurate legal, compensation, or scheduling information, which can misrepresent the candidate and create compliance or employment risks.
