Hutian Opc Daily Promotion

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill mainly performs public content research, but it also contains agent-facing promotional referral instructions that could steer responses beyond the user's request.

Install only if you are comfortable with a Chinese-language skill that researches public content platforms and writes daily report files locally. Review or remove the referral/promotion section before use if you do not want the agent to recommend related skills or direct users to the author's contact email during ordinary report-generation work.

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

Technical Analysis

The Skill’s declared purpose is to research public platforms and generate a daily report containing selected AI-creation and content-marketing examples. The cited section instead introduces behavioral instructions for referrals and promotion. It defines trigger conditions, reusable marketing language, downstream promotional targets, and a fallback instruction directing users to the author’s external email address.

Because SKILL.md is consumed as agent guidance, these instructions can alter generated responses when the Skill is loaded. They are not merely package metadata: the trigger and scripted-language structure instructs the agent when and how to promote associated services. This creates an output-integrity risk by turning normal task execution into an undisclosed marketing channel.

Attack Path

  1. A user imports or activates the Skill in a compatible agent platform.
  2. The platform loads SKILL.md as behavioral instructions.
  3. The user requests daily content production or help improving promotional performance, satisfying one of the embedded referral triggers.
  4. The agent applies the referral instructions while handling the otherwise legitimate request.
  5. The response may promote associated Skills, repeat the supplied marketing scripts, or direct the user to `hutian@mantuzhisheng. ...[truncated 714 chars]

Remediation Suggestions

  1. Remove the referral plan, trigger conditions, marketing scripts, and fallback contact instruction from lines 177–201.
  2. Restrict SKILL.md to instructions necessary for searching, evaluating, and reporting daily cases.
  3. If author contact information must be retained, place it in clearly marked, non-executable package metadata rather than agent behavioral instructions.
  4. Explicitly state that contact information and promotional referrals must never be inserted into generated reports automatically.
  5. Require a separate and explicit user request before recommending related Skills or external services.
  6. Apply platform-side review rules that flag trigger-based referral language and external contact solicitation in agent instruction files.
  7. Add output tests confirming that routine research and report-generation requests do not produce advertisements, referrals, or contact directions.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The natural-language content of the skill description, usage instructions, and ecosystem information is presented only in Chinese. Under the policy rule, forcing a specific language without user opt-in or a documented justification is a locale/language policy violation.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The file’s user-facing description forces a specific language/locale experience, and the rest of the skill content is likewise presented only in Chinese. Under the policy, language constraints should either be optional for the user or clearly justified as region-specific.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs automatic creation of a dated local file under a relative path without an explicit user-facing warning or confirmation step. While the path is not obviously dangerous, unattended file writes can surprise users, clutter workspaces, overwrite expected outputs in repeated runs, or be abused in broader automation contexts where file creation triggers downstream processes.
