Lay Summary Gen

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a simple local medical-abstract summarizer with no evidence of hidden network access, credential use, persistence, or destructive behavior.

Before installing, treat this as a local draft summarization helper: review generated medical summaries for accuracy, avoid relying on them as medical advice, and confirm path/overwrite behavior if a future version adds file input or output support.

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
  • 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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The skill documentation states that local scripts may execute and output files may be written, but it does not clearly warn users about modification behavior, affected paths, or safeguards. This creates a real transparency and safety issue because users may invoke the skill without understanding that it can change workspace contents, increasing the chance of unintended file writes or misuse if path handling is weak elsewhere.
