Security audit

Relate Coach

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

Relate Coach is a coherent communication-coaching skill with local scripts and no evidence of hidden data access, persistence, or unsafe authority.

This skill is appropriate for low-stakes relationship and communication coaching. Users should treat it as self-help scripting support, not professional counseling, legal advice, crisis help, or a tool to act on someone else's behalf.

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
