Academic Writing Test

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward academic-writing instruction pack with no evidence of hidden execution, persistence, data access, or unsafe behavior.

Before installing, expect this skill to strongly shape academic-writing responses, including Markdown output, <ama-doc> wrappers, and strict citation rules. There is no security evidence requiring Review, but users should still verify academic references because the skill asks the agent to produce real citations.

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
