Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed competitive-analysis writing guide with no executable code, persistence, hidden behavior, or credential handling.

Installers should expect this skill to guide the agent toward structured Markdown competitive-analysis reports and to use available financial data/search and chart-generation tools when needed. Review outputs for source quality and investment-advice boundaries, especially because the skill works with market and financial information.

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 instruction says all output 'must' be in Markdown, which imposes a fixed output format regardless of user preference. Under the policy category for natural-language constraints, hard requirements that limit user choice can be problematic when no opt-in or exception is provided.
