vendor-onboarding-workflow

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a plain-text vendor onboarding workflow; it handles sensitive vendor records, but the behavior is disclosed and aligned with its purpose.

Before installing or using this workflow, decide where vendor tax forms, banking details, contacts, and compliance documents may be stored. Prefer a secured vendor portal or approved business system over email or open shared drives, limit access by role, set retention rules, and avoid collecting identifiers unless they are needed for your onboarding process.

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 skill explicitly instructs users to collect highly sensitive vendor data such as EIN/Tax ID, business addresses, contact details, and litigation information, but it provides no privacy, retention, access control, or secure-handling guidance for that data. In context, this increases the likelihood that operators will store regulated or sensitive business information in insecure forms, spreadsheets, shared drives, or email workflows, leading to unnecessary exposure or compliance issues.
