Job Search

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This job-search skill stores user-directed job hunting notes locally and does not show hidden execution, exfiltration, or privilege-seeking behavior.

Before installing, understand that the skill organizes job-search details in local Markdown files under ~/job-search. Those files may include salary targets, employment history, company notes, contacts, and application status, so avoid storing unnecessary sensitive information and protect the directory as you would other private documents.

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

Finding

The setup instructions direct creation of persistent files under the user's home directory to store job-search data, but they do not warn that personal preferences, employment history, application status, and company research will be retained locally. This creates a real privacy risk because users may not realize sensitive career information is being stored unencrypted in a predictable location.
