Scientific Article PDF Generator

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill coherently helps generate scientific article PDFs through a disclosed external API, with no hidden execution, persistence, or destructive behavior found.

Before using this skill, confirm you are allowed to send the draft, product facts, URLs, and any research context to Paper.EvoWeb.ai, especially if the content is confidential, regulated, or unpublished. Review generated scientific claims and citations before publication, and expect each generation to use account credits.

A.I.G

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

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs the assistant to send user-provided draft text, product facts, URLs, and optional research context to a third-party API, but it does not clearly warn users that their content will leave the local environment and be processed externally. This creates a real privacy and compliance risk, especially if users include unpublished research, proprietary product data, personal information, or confidential business material.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

This is a natural-language locale policy issue because the file specifies that Cyrillic characters are automatically converted to Latin in output filenames. The behavior forces a particular script/locale handling choice without user opt-in, and no region-specific justification is provided.
