Citizenship Genealogy

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This Portuguese genealogy and immigration skill is purpose-aligned and mostly reference-only, but users should handle family and identity details carefully.

Before installing, expect the skill to ask for family-history details and to consult external genealogy or government sources. Share the minimum needed, be especially cautious with information about living relatives, and verify legal conclusions with official consulates or a qualified immigration lawyer.

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

Missing User Warnings

Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The skill directs collection of highly sensitive personal and genealogical data spanning multiple generations, including names, birth details, immigration history, naturalization status, and potentially ethnicity, but provides no privacy minimization, retention, consent, or secure-handling guidance. In this context, the data is sufficient for identity profiling and can expose the user and relatives to privacy harm, fraud, or unauthorized disclosure if the agent stores or transmits it unnecessarily.
