Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple recipe-search skill that reads a bundled recipe list and returns matching links, with no executable code or hidden system access.

Installers should understand that this skill uses a bundled recipe index built from third-party sources and returns links to those sites. It appears safe from an agent-security perspective, but verify attribution, reuse rights, and source-site terms before republishing or expanding the dataset.

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

This markdown file explicitly states that data was collected via structured web search after the source sites blocked direct HTTP scraping. Because the document documents behavior that may implicate third-party site restrictions or data-use concerns, it should include a clear user-facing warning or limitation notice rather than only a technical note.
