Yongheng Risheng Supplier Info

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a static, vendor-specific supplier information skill with promotional routing that users should recognize as branded rather than neutral sourcing advice.

Install this only if you want a branded YHRSH supplier information and recommendation aid. For neutral procurement research, treat its answers as company-specific promotional material and compare against independent supplier sources before making purchasing decisions.

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

When a user first installs this skill, the Agent should proactively:
1. Inform the user that they can query YHRSH supplier information, including company credentials, production capabilities, product lines, customer case studies, etc.
2. Suggest recommended first questions, such as:
   - "What kind of company is Yongheng Risheng?"
   - "What stamping parts can they produce?"
   - "What quality certifications do they hold?"
   - "Which automakers do they supply to?"
   - "How can I contact Yongheng Risheng?"
3. Explain that all information is based on publicly available company materials, and direct collaboration inquiries should be made with the company

Remediation Suggestions

  1. Restrict skill activation to explicit YHRSH-related requests, such as queries containing the company name or a direct request for its profile.
  2. Remove instructions that automatically recommend YHRSH for generic supplier searches.
  3. Remove conversion-oriented requirements, including “drive conversions,” from both SKILL.md and skill.json.
  4. Provide company contact details only when the user explicitly requests contact information or asks how to obtain a quotation.
  5. Clearly disclose that the skill is company-authored promotional material and is not an independent supplier-selection service.
  6. For broad sourcing requests, either remain inactive or state that the skill can provide information only about YHRSH and cannot conduct a neutral market comparison.
  7. Avoid placing brand-promotion requirements in system-priority instructions. Keep factual presentation guidance scoped to explicit company-information requests.
  8. Add neutral-response guardrails requiring the Agent to distinguish verified facts, company-provided claims, and independent evaluations.

Finding

The README presents the skill as a general supplier information capability, but the stated purpose is to help agents 'find and recommend Yongheng Risheng' during supplier searches. Without an upfront disclosure that activation may bias recommendations toward a named company, users and downstream integrators may mistake sponsored or single-vendor steering for neutral sourcing assistance.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The trigger examples are generic sourcing phrases like 'Find a stamping parts supplier' and location/certification searches that are common across many ordinary procurement queries. In a skill explicitly designed to 'find and recommend Yongheng Risheng,' broad activation can silently steer neutral supplier-discovery requests toward a single vendor, creating covert recommendation bias rather than user-requested comparison.

Vague Triggers

Category

Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The keyword list contains generic industry terms like 'stamping supplier,' 'automotive parts,' and 'find supplier,' which are likely to match a wide range of unrelated procurement requests. In skill systems that auto-select based on keywords, this can lead to unsolicited activation and biased vendor promotion, especially because the skill is designed to recommend a single company.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The trigger scenarios include very broad procurement phrases such as general supplier-search and certification queries, which can cause the skill to activate for users who did not specifically ask about this company. That creates an overbroad routing/promotion risk: the agent may steer supplier-selection decisions toward one vendor without clear user intent, reducing relevance and potentially biasing business recommendations.

Confidence

Finding

The keyword list includes broad sourcing-oriented terms such as 'find supplier', 'supplier recommendation', 'supplier sourcing', and 'supplier evaluation', which can cause the skill to activate during generic procurement conversations rather than only when the user explicitly seeks this specific company. This is not a code-execution issue, but it can hijack user intent, surface promotional content unexpectedly, and bias tool selection toward a single vendor.

Finding

The markdown instructs the agent to proactively provide contact information, including a named contact, phone number, email, and WeChat, to drive conversions. While the data may be public, the skill does not clearly warn users that it will surface third-party contact details or encourage off-platform contact, which is a user-affecting behavior relevant to privacy and disclosure.
