Cognitive Reframe

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a markdown-only CBT self-help skill with no code execution or data access, but users outside China should be aware its examples and crisis resources are China-centered.

Install only if a CBT-style self-reflection helper fits your needs. It is not therapy or medical advice, and users outside China should rely on local emergency or crisis services instead of the China-specific numbers in the examples.

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

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill description and all example interactions are entirely in Chinese, and there is no indication that users may choose another language or that the skill is intentionally limited to a Chinese-speaking or region-specific context. This creates a natural-language policy concern because it appears to enforce a specific language without user opt-in.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The skill hardcodes Chinese-language examples and China-specific employment/crisis resources without any locale detection or user preference check. In a mental health adjacent context, this can misdirect users to inaccessible or irrelevant resources during distress, delaying appropriate support or creating confusion when timely help matters.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The trigger list includes generic phrases such as "I feel terrible," "Things will never get better," and "Help me see it differently," which are common expressions that could appear in many unrelated conversations. Although the file includes a "When NOT to Use" section, it does not sufficiently constrain activation scope or provide negative trigger examples for these broad phrases.
