Security audit

Error Message Decoder

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a narrow error-message helper with no evidence of hidden access, persistence, or unsafe actions.

This appears safe to install as a simple diagnostic helper. Before relying on it, be aware that its language behavior and sample implementation are lightly documented, so responses may not always match the user's preferred language or return perfectly structured output.

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
  • 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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
Findings (2)

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The skill description and feature list are written as mandatory Chinese-language behavior, including '解析错误信息,提供可能的原因和解决方案' and '多语言支持', but the file does not state that users can choose their preferred output language. This creates a language/locale policy concern because the skill appears to default to Chinese without explicit opt-in.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The function signature sets `language = 'en'` by default, which imposes a specific language choice unless the caller explicitly overrides it. Under the stated policy, forcing a language without opt-in is a natural-language locale policy issue unless the constraint is clearly documented and justified.
