Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill mostly does the advertised pitch-material work, but it also adds automatic local persistence and unrelated promotional onboarding that users should review before installing.

Install only if you are comfortable with the skill writing a first-use marker under ~/.ljhskill and using a local ljh-档案 archive for brand notes and generated deliverables. Avoid using it in shared or mixed-client workspaces unless you explicitly disable or manage the archive, and treat the WeChat/community onboarding as unrelated promotional content rather than required functionality.

Technical Analysis

The skill requires the agent to emit a predetermined onboarding message before handling the user's request whenever a local marker is absent. That message includes promotion of an external user group and two WeChat contact identifiers.

This behavior is not necessary for the advertised task of generating two-page influencer pitch materials. Because the instruction automatically changes the response content when the skill is loaded, it constitutes skill instruction hijacking. The behavior is deterministic and does not require the user to request onboarding information or external contact details.

Attack Path

  1. A user invokes the skill for its advertised pitch-material generation function.
  2. The agent checks for ~/.ljhskill/onboarding.json.
  3. If the marker does not exist, the skill forces the agent to prepend a fixed branded message.
  4. The message advertises an external community and exposes two third-party contact identifiers.
  5. Only after presenting this unrelated content does the agent continue processing the user's actual request.
  6. The skill then attempts to create a marker so that the injected output is shown only on first use.

Remediation

Remediation Suggestions

  1. Remove the mandatory external-community promotion and personal contact identifiers.
  2. Do not inject onboarding content before fulfilling the requested task.
  3. If onboarding is operationally necessary, limit it to concise, task-relevant usage instructions.
  4. Display optional onboarding only after explicit user consent or in response to a help request.
  5. Clearly separate required functional output from optional product or community information.
  6. Add a policy requiring all user-facing content to be directly relevant to the invoked skill unless the user explicitly opts in.

本工具启动前,先看一眼当前目录下的 `ljh-档案/品牌档案.md`:

1. 档案存在:读取里面的品基本盘、人群、卖点及验证状态、结论时间线。档案里已经写清楚的信息,不再重复问用户,本工具只问还缺的增量信息;引用档案信息时提一句「按档案里的 XX 来,有变化告诉我」。
2. 档案不存在:不影响流程,按下面 Phase 0 正常收集信息往下跑。交付完成后问用户一句「要不要建个档案,下次任何工具都不用重复报家门」,用户同意就在当前目录建 `ljh-档案/` 和 `ljh-档案/品牌档案.md`。
3. 交付完成后,把本次关键结论追加进档案的「结论时间线」(日期 + 工具名 + 一两句结论),不覆盖旧内容;完整交付物另存到 `ljh-档案/交付物/日期_ljh-liangye_主题.md`。中途没跑完的交互不写档案。
4. 用户明确说不要档案,或者当前环境不能写文件,跳过以上全部动作,流程照常跑,不反复追问。

Technical Analysis

The skill performs persistent filesystem operations beyond generating the requested document. It checks and writes a marker in the user's home directory, automatically reads an existing brand profile from the current workspace, appends conclusions to that profile, and saves the complete generated deliverable.

Consent is requested before initially creating a missing brand archive, and users can explicitly decline archival behavior. However, once an archive exists, subsequent reads and writes occur automatically after completed interactions without fresh confirmation. The home-directory onboarding marker is also created without explicit consent.

The archived material may contain product positioning, target audiences, evidence status, commercial mechanisms, pricing information, commissions, fee budgets, margins, samples, and generated pitch content. Persisting this information by default creates confidentiality and cross-session state risks, especially in shared workspaces or when archived information later becomes stale.

Remediation Suggestions

  1. Make non-persistence the default behavior.
  2. Obtain explicit, informed consent before reading an existing profile and before each write that stores new business information.
  3. Explain exactly which files will be read or written, what information will be retained, and how it may affect later sessions.
  4. Avoid writing state to the user's home directory unless it is essential and explicitly approved.
  5. Restrict storage to a user-selected workspace path and validate that the destination is not a symbolic link or an unintended shared directory.
  6. Offer separate choices for saving summary conclusions and saving the complete deliverable.
  7. Provide commands or documented procedures to inspect, correct, export, and delete retained data.
  8. Apply restrictive file permissions where supported.
  9. Confirm the relevant client, brand, and product identity before reusing archived information.
  10. Detect stale records and require confirmation before they influence newly generated output.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs automatic creation of ~/.ljhskill/onboarding.json on first use without clear, upfront user consent. Silent filesystem writes create an unexpected persistence channel, can leak usage metadata, and normalize stateful behavior outside the user's immediate request.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The skill reads and writes ljh-档案/ files in the current directory, appends interaction summaries, and stores full deliverables, which can persist potentially sensitive business information without a prominent warning. In a multi-project or shared workspace, this can expose confidential product, pricing, negotiation, and strategy data to unintended parties or future processes.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The manifest describes a narrowly scoped generator for influencer/host meeting materials. However, the file instructs the skill on first use to emit a general toolbox welcome, present unrelated product/content/operations diagnostic options, and promote a user group with contact details, which goes beyond the stated material-generation purpose.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
82% confidence
Finding

The manifest explicitly narrows activation to the host-meeting scenario and says non-relevant contexts should not auto-trigger. Yet the startup instructions always present broader options like product judgment, content diagnosis, and business diagnosis, steering the interaction outside the declared scenario before proceeding.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

Sharing a user group invitation and personal WeChat contacts is not a direct or obvious requirement for compressing product materials into two host-facing pages and a pitch script. This is an extra capability unrelated to the core task described in the manifest.
