Hot Alert Cn

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a small China-focused hot-topic keyword checker with no evidence of hidden access, persistence, exfiltration, or unsafe system changes.

Install only if you want a Chinese-language hot-topic keyword helper. Be aware that the included script uses mock data and does not appear to implement real live monitoring, saved keyword lists, or scheduled alerts.

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

Findings (3)

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

Confidence: 91% confidence
Finding: This code emits user-facing status, alert, recommendation, and usage messages in Chinese only, including the command-line help text. The policy requires flagging language or locale constraints when the skill forces a specific language without user opt-in, and this file provides no language selection or justification that it is intended only for a Chinese-speaking or region-specific context.

Vague Triggers

Low

Confidence: 87% confidence
Finding: The manifest description lists activation phrases like "热点提醒" and "关键词监控" without clarifying boundaries, negative examples, or when the skill should not activate. These phrases are generic enough to overlap with ordinary requests about alerts or keyword monitoring, which could cause unintended invocation.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low

Confidence: 78% confidence
Finding: The description and examples center on Chinese-language triggers and China-specific platforms such as Weibo, Zhihu, and Baidu, but the file does not clearly state that this locale scope is intentional or optional for users. This can be a natural-language locale policy concern when a skill implicitly defaults to a specific regional context without opt-in or justification.
