Security audit

Dao

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a prompt-only Dao De Jing explanation skill with no code execution, data access, network use, or persistence.

Installers should expect this skill to answer Dao De Jing interpretation requests in concise plain Chinese. I found no executable code, remote access, credential handling, local data access, or persistence behavior.

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
  • 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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Finding

The description says to interpret and explain Dao De Jing lines "in plain Chinese," which imposes a specific language as part of the skill behavior. Because the file does not indicate user opt-in or an alternative language option, this is a natural-language locale policy concern under the stated rules.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The instruction "Use plain Chinese" is a direct language constraint in the skill's output rules. The policy allows locale constraints only when the user is given a choice or when the restriction is clearly justified as region-specific, neither of which is present here.
