Security audit

idea-discovery

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill gathers business ideas from external sources through a clearly scoped research workflow, with no material security concerns found.

Expect external research and a collection of idea candidates. The workflow deliberately postpones feasibility and competitive evaluation, so assess those separately before pursuing an idea.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Anti-Refusal Statement

High
Category
Anti-Refusal
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding

Skill instructs the agent to omit warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Stripping safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

# Idea Discovery

Continuously discover business idea candidates from multiple real external signal sources. Focus only on discovery and collection, without judging the ultimate value or feasibility of the ideas.

## 1. Find Candidates from These Sources

Scope Creep

Low
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding

Skill's behavior or capabilities extend beyond its stated purpose. Scope creep allows an agent to perform actions unrelated to its documented functionality, increasing the attack surface.

- **Signal**: Why it deserves to enter the candidate pool
- **Source**: The source supporting this signal

Real signals include, but are not limited to:

- People are already paying for similar products
- Small teams are already generating revenue from similar products
