Ng Lawyer Db Build

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed, scoped workflow for building a public-source lawyer contact database, with privacy handling guidance needed before use.

Before installing, use this only for lawfully obtained, publicly published professional contact information. Keep the generated database limited to the stated purpose, avoid private or guessed contact details, and define deletion/retention and compliant outreach practices before using the data in later email workflows.

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 directs collection and storage of lawyers’ personal contact data, including email and phone, into output files without any warning, consent guidance, retention limits, or privacy handling instructions. This creates a real privacy and compliance risk because users may aggregate personally identifiable information from multiple sources and store or reuse it in later outreach workflows without understanding legal or policy constraints.
