PragDev PDF Generator

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward local PDF generator, with only minor language-localization issues and no evidence of hidden or harmful behavior.

Install only if you are comfortable with a local script creating PDF files at the output path you provide and reading any JSON or image paths you include. Expect the built-in author/date labels to appear in German unless the skill is updated.

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

Finding

The example JSON uses German-only document content such as "Mautic Kampagnenbericht", "Kampagne", and "Top Kontakte" without indicating that German is optional or that this schema is intended for a German-specific workflow. That can conflict with language/locale policy expectations because the reference implicitly normalizes one language without user opt-in or justification.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The generated PDF metadata line uses the fixed labels "Autor" and "Datum", which imposes a specific language on output regardless of user preference. This is a natural-language locale choice embedded in code, and there is no opt-in, configuration, or justification for the restriction.
