Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill only guides the agent to search public news sources and summarize them, with no code execution, persistence, or sensitive data access.

Before installing, be aware that the skill may activate for broad news-summary requests and tends to format output in Chinese. It is otherwise limited to summarizing public news sources and does not appear to access private data or modify your environment.

A.I.G

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

Vague Triggers

Finding

The manifest description says the skill should be used whenever the user 'needs the latest domestic and international social, technology, and military news' and wants automatic summarization. This is a very broad natural-language trigger description that overlaps with common user requests and does not define boundaries, explicit trigger phrases, or exclusion conditions.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
79% confidence
Finding

The description and primary instructions are written as if the skill operates in Chinese by default, with no indication that users may request another language. This can violate language/locale policy when a skill implicitly forces a specific language without explicit opt-in or documented justification.
