Paper_Briefing_Assistant

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a transparent literature-survey workflow that uses web research tools with user checkpoints and no hidden execution or install behavior.

Before installing, expect the agent to perform broad academic web retrieval and possibly use parallel research sessions. Do not provide institutional login credentials; if a paywalled paper is needed, provide only the paper content you are allowed to share or tell the agent to skip it.

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

Natural-Language Policy Violations

92% confidence
Finding
The title explicitly labels the workflow as '(English)', and the prescribed startup prompt is fixed in English. Because the file does not offer a language option or explain why English is required, this creates a natural-language locale policy concern under the rule for forced language without opt-in.
