Home Garden Planner

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a simple local gardening planner with no evidence of hidden access, persistence, data exfiltration, or destructive behavior.

Before installing, note that this appears intended for Chinese-language gardening requests and may activate on general gardening phrases. It does not show risky system access, but the publisher should replace the placeholder description and clarify language support.

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

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The file presents the overview, trigger phrases, and output description in Chinese, which can imply a fixed language experience. There is no indication that users may choose another language or that the skill is intentionally limited to a Chinese-language audience for a documented reason.

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The trigger phrases are broad everyday gardening terms, which can cause the skill to activate unintentionally during normal conversation. This creates an invocation-hijacking or misrouting risk where users may be routed into this skill without clear intent, reducing reliability and potentially exposing user inputs to the wrong skill context.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

This code defines the skill name, parsing keywords, output fields, and user-facing example output entirely in Chinese. Under the stated policy, forcing a specific language without user opt-in is a natural-language policy violation unless the locale restriction is explicitly documented and justified, which is not present here.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The description "auto-generated skeleton" is too vague to communicate the skill’s intended purpose or safe activation boundaries. An unclear scope can cause the agent to invoke the skill in unintended contexts, increasing the chance of inappropriate actions or unsafe handling of user requests.
