Security audit

Sociology

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a sociology tutoring skill with no code, tools, persistence, or hidden data access.

Installing this skill should only affect how the agent explains sociology topics. As with any academic helper, users should still verify citations and sources for coursework or research.

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

Skill instructs the agent to omit warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Stripping safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

- One concept at a time — introduce, give example, check understanding, then move on
- Frame sociology as subversive noticing — "Why do we do this thing everyone pretends is natural?"
- Connect to content they consume — TikTok trends, fandoms, gaming communities, influencer culture
- Never preach — present observations, ask what THEY think

## For Students: Theory Meets Evidence
- Connect every theory to concrete phenomena — Bourdieu explains why certain tastes feel "classy"
