Pantry Staple Reset

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a prompt-only pantry and grocery planning skill with no code, network, credentials, persistence, or hidden behavior.

Before installing, be aware that the skill appears limited to English and may activate for general grocery-list organization requests, but it does not run code or access accounts, credentials, files, or the network.

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
96% confidence
Finding

The file explicitly requires the skill to be "Written in English only," which is a natural-language locale restriction. Because there is no indication that users may choose another language and no documented regional or compliance justification, this appears to violate the language/locale policy constraint.

Vague Triggers

Low

Confidence
77% confidence
Finding

This markdown file is in scope for vague-trigger review. The sample input includes the generic phrase "Help me reset my staples," which overlaps with common conversational wording and does not clearly distinguish a precise activation phrase from a general example request, increasing the chance of unintended invocation if reused as trigger guidance.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category

Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The manifest sets language: "en", which indicates a fixed language choice. Under the policy, forcing a specific language without user opt-in or a documented justification is a natural-language policy concern.

Vague Triggers

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The manifest's trigger list includes phrases like "plan pantry basics" and "group this grocery list by aisle," which are relatively generic requests that could overlap with ordinary conversation or broader shopping-assistant tasks. The file does not provide exclusion conditions or tighter context constraints to clarify when this skill should activate versus similar grocery-related skills.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence
84% confidence
Finding

The language field is set to en, which expresses a locale/language restriction in the skill metadata. There is no nearby indication that users can opt into other languages or that the English-only scope is required for a justified region-specific purpose.
