Security audit

CMO / Chief Marketing Officer

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This marketing-advice skill is coherent and does not include executable code, but it does use local preference and memory files for personalization.

Install this if you want reusable CMO-style marketing guidance that remembers your stated business facts and preferences. Before using it, review what is stored in ~/Clawic/data/cmo/ and ~/Clawic/profile.yaml, because the skill may load that context automatically and may save new preferences or business facts you reveal during work.

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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

70% confidence
Finding

Hidden instructions were detected in comments or invisible text. These could contain malicious directives. Manual review is recommended.

Autonomous Decision Making

Medium
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
75% confidence
Finding

Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

## Original Research

The most reliable link and press magnet in B2B: run a survey or mine your own product data for a statistic nobody else can publish. Requirements: a defensible method (sample size and question wording published), a number that is genuinely new, and a single citable chart. Repeat annually — the second edition earns more than the first because it becomes a series people wait for. Never publish a proprietary-data statistic without checking customer contracts and privacy commitments (`compliance.md`).

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The skill explicitly instructs the agent to read ~/Clawic/data/cmo/config.yaml, ~/Clawic/profile.yaml, and ~/Clawic/data/cmo/memory.md automatically on first use, without any user-facing notice or consent step. Even though these files are used for personalization, they may contain sensitive personal, business, or historical context data, so silent access increases privacy risk and can expose more data than is necessary for the immediate task.
