Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a documentation-only search helper that points agents to public search engines, with no hidden code, persistence, or local data access.

Install only if you are comfortable with your search terms being sent to Google, DuckDuckGo, Brave Search, or WolframAlpha. Do not put secrets, private project names, personal data, or credential-like queries into searches.

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

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 89% confidence
Finding: This markdown file presents its core descriptive content entirely in Chinese, including the basic information, features, and update history. Under the stated policy, forcing a specific language without user opt-in is a natural-language policy violation unless the locale restriction is explicitly justified, which it is not here.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 96% confidence
Finding: The skill routes user-provided queries to multiple third-party search engines, but the description does not clearly warn that search terms will leave the local agent environment and be transmitted to external services. Search queries often contain sensitive data, internal project names, credentials by mistake, or personal information, so lack of disclosure can lead to unintended data exposure and privacy/compliance issues.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 88% confidence
Finding: This markdown file contains user-facing instructions exclusively in Chinese, and nowhere indicates that the skill is region-specific or that other language options are available. Under the language/locale policy, forcing a single language without user opt-in can be a natural-language policy violation.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.
