Creativity

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This creativity skill is transparent about learning creative preferences and does not include code, network access, credential use, or hidden execution.

Install this only if you are comfortable with the agent keeping local notes about your creative preferences and reactions. Review or clear preferences.md periodically if you do not want a long-term taste profile retained.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • 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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The skill description is broadly worded and lacks clear activation boundaries, which can cause the skill to engage in loosely related contexts instead of only when the user explicitly wants creative ideation. Overbroad triggering increases the chance of unintended data handling and unexpected behavior, especially because the skill also persists learned preferences.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs checking and updating preferences.md after creative tasks, implying persistent storage of user taste and feedback without any user notice or consent flow. This creates a privacy risk because behavioral preferences and reactions may be recorded silently across sessions.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The learning workflow explicitly says to record user reactions in preferences.md, including approval, rejection, and choice patterns, without notifying the user that this feedback will persist. Silent retention of interaction history can expose sensitive preference profiles and violates user expectations around transparency and control.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The file explicitly instructs the system to 'update after every creative task' and to accumulate confirmed preferences, rejected directions, and an outcome log over time. This creates persistent behavioral profiling and history retention without any notice, consent, minimization, or guidance to avoid storing sensitive personal data that may emerge from user feedback, which can lead to unnecessary collection and retention of personal information.
