Art Of Questioning

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This Chinese question-coaching skill is a Markdown-only instructional skill; its broad triggers and Chinese-only output are usability concerns, not evidence of unsafe access or malicious behavior.

Install this if you want a Chinese-language assistant for practicing deeper questioning. Be aware that generic phrases like asking for help with questions or deep thinking may activate it, and only enable any scheduled practice workflow if you actually want recurring prompts.

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
  • 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

Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The trigger list contains broad, everyday phrases such as '帮我提问', '如何提问', and '深度思考', which can match many normal conversations outside the skill’s intended scope. Overbroad activators can cause unintended routing into this skill, leading to prompt/intent hijacking at the orchestration layer and responses that override user expectations or conflict with more appropriate tools.

Vague Triggers

Confidence

Finding

The rule '用户描述内容即自动进入实战模式' is an ambiguous auto-activation condition that can fire on almost any user message describing something they read, heard, or learned. This increases the chance of unsolicited skill takeover, where the assistant shifts into a rigid questioning workflow without clear consent, potentially suppressing the user’s actual task or causing cross-skill misrouting.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Finding

Mandating Chinese output without user opt-in can override the user’s language preference and platform defaults, which is a control-plane safety issue even if not directly exploitable for code execution or data theft. In multilingual environments, this can degrade usability, hide important safety messaging from the user, and create confusion if the original request was in another language.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

The file title and all instructional content are written exclusively in Chinese, with no natural-language indication that users may choose another language or locale. Under the policy rule for language/locale constraints, this can be a violation when a skill implicitly requires a specific language without user opt-in or justification.
