Cricket Stats Skill

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward cricket statistics lookup helper that uses web search/fetch for public sports data and does not show hidden execution, persistence, or sensitive data handling.

Before installing, understand that the skill may activate for broad cricket-related data questions and may assume men's cricket if the user does not specify. For ambiguous queries, explicitly say men's or women's cricket and the format or competition you want.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • 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

Natural-Language Policy Violations

High
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

Defaulting to men's cricket unless the user specifies otherwise introduces a biased assumption that can systematically return the wrong dataset. In a stats skill, this is especially risky because it can silently produce materially incorrect answers while appearing authoritative, undermining trust and excluding women's cricket by default.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The trigger description is broad enough to activate on general cricket conversation, not just factual statistics lookups. Over-broad activation can cause the skill to take over unrelated queries, increasing unnecessary web access and the chance of returning irrelevant or lower-quality answers instead of the platform's normal handling.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

The instruction 'when the user asks about any cricket data' lacks clear boundaries and may be interpreted expansively by the agent. Ambiguous activation criteria can lead to unintended invocation on adjacent topics like news, opinions, biographies, or strategy discussion, which broadens exposure to tool use and misrouting.
