branddock-on-brand

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill coherently connects an agent to Branddock so it can fetch brand context, draft content, score it, and leave approval to the user.

Install this if you intend to use Branddock for brand-aware drafting and scoring. Be aware that brand context and text you ask it to score or generate may be sent to Branddock, and approve paid generation actions deliberately, especially high-credit SEO, campaign, image, or video work.

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
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • 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

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The README’s instructional content is written in Dutch and does not indicate that language choice is optional or user-selectable. Under the policy rule for language or locale constraints, this can be a violation because it effectively imposes a specific language without opt-in or a stated region-specific justification.

Data Exfiltration
Confidence

Finding

Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence

Finding

The 'First prompts that work well' section provides only Dutch example prompts, which can create an implicit language preference in the skill's natural-language guidance. While the skill supports a brand's content language, these examples do not explicitly offer users a language choice or clarify that other languages are equally supported.
