Email Outreach Templates

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple Chinese-language sales email template skill with no evidence of hidden execution, data access, persistence, or exfiltration.

Install this only if you want Chinese-language sales outreach templates. Review generated emails before sending, especially because some templates make performance and case-study claims that should be personalized and verified.

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

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The file title and all user-facing instructions are written in Chinese, and there is no indication that another language is supported or that the Chinese-only presentation is intentional for a region-specific skill. This can violate a language/locale policy when users are not given an opt-in or alternative.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
82% confidence
Finding

The file presents triggers, instructions, and output format exclusively in Chinese, which can effectively force a specific language for users without opt-in. Under the stated policy, locale or language constraints should either provide user choice or be clearly justified as region-specific.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The trigger conditions are broad enough to activate on ordinary conversation about email templates, first contact, or follow-up messages, which can cause the skill to engage when the user did not intend to invoke a sales/outreach workflow. This increases the risk of inappropriate context switching, irrelevant persuasive content, and accidental use in unrelated email discussions.

Confidence

Finding

The document is entirely written in Chinese, and there is no indication that language choice is optional or that the skill is specifically intended for a Chinese-only audience. Under the policy, forcing a specific language without user opt-in can be a natural-language policy violation.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
85% confidence
Finding

This file presents all user-facing template content in a single language and does not indicate that the skill is China-specific or that users can opt into Chinese output. Under the language/locale policy check, forcing one language without user choice can be a natural-language policy violation.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The docstring and user-facing printed text are written only in Chinese, which imposes a specific language choice on users without any indication of opt-in or locale justification. This matches the policy category for language or locale constraints expressed in natural-language content.
