Medical Literature Search

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward medical literature search skill with no executable code, persistence, credential handling, or hidden behavior.

Install this as a literature-search aid, not as a medical decision-maker. Check source links, publication quality, and clinical relevance before relying on summaries, especially for diagnosis or treatment questions.

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

Confidence

Finding

The example trigger phrase is very broad and matches ordinary user requests for medical information retrieval, which can cause this skill to activate in situations beyond the author's intended scope. Over-broad activation is especially risky in a medical context because users may be discussing health conditions or treatment options, and accidental invocation could lead to inappropriate routing, unreliable literature summaries, or mistaken reliance on incomplete evidence.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
87% confidence
Finding

The manifest description is written as a Chinese-only instruction and advertises Chinese/English literature support, but it does not state that the user can choose the interaction language. Under the policy, forcing or implying a specific language/locale without opt-in is a natural-language policy concern.
