Agent Runtime Impact Research

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a research-and-analysis writing skill with no executable code, persistence, credential handling, or hidden data access.

Review the output-language preference and the malformed version metadata before installing. From a security perspective, the skill is low risk: it is Markdown-only and asks the agent to do source-backed research rather than execute code or access private data.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • 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 writing rule says to 'Use concise Chinese,' which imposes a specific language on outputs. The policy for this audit flags language or locale constraints unless the skill offers user choice or clearly documents a justified region-specific limitation, which this file does not do.
