Overview

This JEE study assistant is coherent and transparent, with the main caution that it stores study/profile details locally in plaintext.

Install only if you are comfortable with the agent keeping local JEE preparation records under ~/jee/. Avoid storing caste/category, mental-health notes, or parent/tutor reports unless you need them, and periodically review or delete the files if the device or backups are shared.

Vulnerability Patterns

• Insecure Skill Coding Practices: Finds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
• Skill Instruction Hijacking: Alters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
• Agent Memory Poisoning: Writes attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
• Remote Payload Retrieval and Execution: Fetches external code whose behavior can change after review
• Embedded Malicious Code: Ships malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally

## Data Storage

User data lives in `~/jee/`:

~/jee/ ├── profile.md # Goals, target rank, exam dates, category ├── subjects/ # Per-subject and chapter-wise progress ├── sessions/ # Study session logs ├── mocks/ # Mock test results and analysis ├── mistakes/ # Error log with patterns └── feedback.md # What works, what doesn't

### Mental Health Warning Signs
- Sleep changes (too much or too little)
- Social withdrawal
- Statements like "I'm wasting my life" or "What's the point"
- Comparing excessively with peers
- Physical symptoms: headaches, stomach issues, fatigue

Technical Analysis

The Skill mandates persistent local storage under ~/jee/ and instructs the Agent to track educational performance, reservation category, coaching affiliation, mistakes, and wellbeing-related observations. These records may contain sensitive personal data, particularly caste or reservation category and mental-health-related statements.

The storage design does not specify:

• Owner-only directory or file permissions.
• User consent before persisting sensitive fields.
• Data minimization requirements.
• Retention periods or secu ...[truncated 1910 chars]

Remediation

Remediation Suggestions

1. Apply restrictive permissions

   • Create ~/jee/ with owner-only permissions equivalent to 0700.
   • Create individual records with permissions equivalent to 0600.
   • Refuse to use the storage directory if it is a symlink or is writable by other users.

2. Require informed consent

   • Ask for explicit permission before persisting category or wellbeing information.
   • Allow users to use the Skill without storing these fields.
   • Clearly state which data will be stored, where it will be stored, and how it will be used.

3. Minimize sensitive data

   • Store only information necessary for the requested study-planning function.
   • Do not retain raw mental-health statements by default.
   • Prefer temporary session context or coarse, non-sensitive indicators where persistence is unnecessary.

4. Define retention and deletion controls

   • Establish a configurable expiration period for sessions, mock results, and wellbeing notes.
   • Provide commands to inspect, export, redact, and permanently delete stored information.
   • Remove stale records after the examination cycle unless the user opts in to continued retention.

5. Separate sensitive records

   • Keep wellbeing information separate from ordinary progress logs.
   • Do not include category or wellbeing data in parent, tutor, PTM, batch, or dashboard outputs unless the student explicitly authorizes that disclosure.

6. Protect generated reports

   • Redact sensitive profile fields by default.
   • Generate aggregate reports where individual-level information is unnecessary.
   • Warn users before writing records into synchronized or shared directories.

7. Document the data-handling model

   • Add a privacy section describing collection, access, retention, sharing, and deletion.
   • Clarify that “track everything” applies only to necessary study metrics and does not authorize unrestricted ...[truncated 46 chars]

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 92% confidence

Finding

The skill instructs the agent to persist detailed user educational data, including goals, category, exam dates, performance history, mistakes, and feedback, in a fixed directory under the user's home folder without any notice, consent, retention policy, or access controls. This creates a privacy and data-minimization issue because sensitive profiling data can accumulate silently and be exposed to other local processes, users, backups, or future agent actions.

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 92% confidence

Finding

The file hard-codes 'Emergency Resources (India)' and India-specific hotline numbers, and earlier includes Hindi text ('ek aur saal de diya') without any opt-in or explicit statement that the skill is only for India-based users. This can violate language/locale policy because the guidance is region-specific but not clearly framed as a regional skill or presented with alternatives for other locales.

Missing User Warnings

Low

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 81% confidence

Finding

This markdown file instructs the agent to track mistake patterns in ~/jee/mistakes/, which implies storing user study data on the local filesystem. The document does not disclose that user data will be written to disk or warn about the persistence/privacy implications of that behavior.
