Bioinformatics Plotting Skill

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a markdown-only bioinformatics plotting guide that links users to an online plotting platform, with a privacy caution users should keep in mind before uploading sensitive data.

Before using the linked online tools, confirm you are allowed to upload the dataset, remove identifiers where possible, and avoid uploading regulated, confidential, unpublished, or patient-linked data unless your institution and the platform's policies permit it.

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

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The skill explicitly instructs users to upload data to a third-party online platform but provides no warning about privacy, confidentiality, consent, or institutional data-handling requirements. In a bioinformatics context, uploaded datasets may contain unpublished, patient-linked, clinical, genomic, or other sensitive research data, so omission of data-sharing cautions can lead to inappropriate external disclosure.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
81% confidence
Finding

The title and substantial portions of the skill are presented in Chinese, but the document does not state that Chinese is optional or provide a user language choice. This can violate a language/locale policy when a skill implicitly assumes a specific language without opt-in.
