Game Controller Charging Dock Map

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a prompt-only home organization skill for controller charging docks, with no executable code, network use, credentials, or persistence.

This skill is reasonable to install if you want an English-language assistant prompt for organizing controller docks and cables. Treat it as household organization help only; do not use it for damaged chargers, batteries, exposed wires, overheating devices, or hardware repair decisions.

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
  • System Prompt LeakageDirect Leakage, Indirect Extraction, Tool-Based Exfiltration
  • 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

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The checklist explicitly says "Language is English only," which is a natural-language policy constraint. There is no indication that users may choose another language, opt in to English, or that the restriction is justified by a region-specific or compliance-related requirement.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The table marks SKILL.md and ACCEPTANCE.md as "English-only," reinforcing a mandatory language constraint in natural-language content. The file does not provide opt-in language selection or a documented reason for enforcing English.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Vague Triggers

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
86% confidence
Finding

This markdown file includes the user phrase "Help me set up a charging dock map..." as the input example. The trigger wording includes the broad phrase "Help me," which is common everyday language and could contribute to ambiguous activation if treated as an invocation pattern rather than a narrow example.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The manifest specifies language: "en", which is a natural-language locale constraint. Under the policy, forcing a specific language without user opt-in or clear justification can be a language/locale policy violation, and this file does not explain why English-only behavior is required.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The manifest sets "language": "en", which is a natural-language locale constraint. Under the policy, forcing a specific language is a violation unless the skill offers a language choice or clearly documents a justified region- or locale-specific limitation, which is not present here.
