Deep Research

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a markdown-only research workflow skill whose guidance is broad but coherent with its stated purpose and does not add hidden execution, persistence, or privileged access.

Before installing, expect this skill to encourage more extensive web research and source logging than a quick lookup. It appears appropriate for deliberate research tasks, but users who only want short answers should avoid invoking it unnecessarily.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • 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

Finding

The phrase "Load when planning or executing research" is a very broad activation condition for a markdown skill description. It does not define concrete trigger phrases, scope boundaries, or exclusion conditions, so it could overlap with many ordinary tasks involving planning or information gathering.
