Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill appears intended for personal document organization, but it asks agents to build a persistent local index of highly sensitive identity, financial, medical, and legal document metadata without strong storage safeguards.

Review before installing. Use this only if you want an agent to maintain a local index of sensitive personal documents. Choose a private encrypted location, avoid storing full IDs or account numbers, restrict file permissions, and do not place the workspace in synced or shared folders unless access controls are clear.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • 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

Finding

The skill uses very broad activation cues like locating any document or answering 'where is my X,' which can match many ordinary user requests without clearly limiting when this skill should take over. In an agent environment, that ambiguity can cause overbroad invocation and unintended handling of highly sensitive document-related tasks, increasing the chance of privacy mistakes or inappropriate file operations.

Missing User Warnings

Finding

The skill instructs creation of a ~/docs/ workspace but does not disclose that it may create directories or files on the user's machine. In practice, silent filesystem changes can surprise users, trigger unwanted persistence of sensitive document metadata, and create privacy or compliance issues because the workspace is specifically intended to track IDs, financial, medical, and legal records.
