Emoji

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple emoji reference skill with broad trigger wording but no code, network access, persistence, credential use, or hidden harmful instructions.

Installers should know this skill may be invoked during general reply composition because its trigger wording is broad. Its inspected contents are limited to emoji suggestions, so the main practical consideration is whether that broad activation is desirable in your workflow.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • YARA SignaturesMalware Match, Webshell Match, Cryptominer Match
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The skill manifest advertises triggers like "any message context," "composing replies," and "reacting to messages," which are so broad that the skill could activate across ordinary messaging workflows far beyond a narrow emoji-assistance use case. Over-broad activation increases the chance of unnecessary context access and makes the skill easier to invoke in unrelated conversations, expanding its attack surface even if the content itself is harmless.

Finding

The section titled "Chinese / CJK Context 中文语境" explicitly introduces locale-specific content, and many headings throughout the file are bilingual with Chinese text. Because the file does not indicate that Chinese/CJK output is optional or user-selected, it can be read as imposing a specific language/locale context without opt-in.
