ccfddl-conference-watch

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill only guides an agent to fetch public academic conference deadline data and format it for the user.

Before installing, understand that this skill may activate for broad academic deadline or submission wording and will fetch public data from CCFDDL. It does not request credentials or local data access, and users should verify important deadline information against official conference pages before relying on it.

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

Finding

The trigger conditions are unusually broad and explicitly include ambiguous shorthand like “DDL” and “投稿”, which can match many unrelated academic or general conversations. This can cause the skill to activate in contexts where the user did not actually request conference-deadline retrieval, leading to unnecessary external fetching, context hijacking, and degraded agent decision quality.
