Overview

This is mostly plain workplace-advice content, but it tells users to keep workplace problem records in personal notes and BCC themselves, which can move company or employee information outside approved systems.

Review this skill before installing if you use it for workplace disputes or escalation. Do not follow advice to forward, BCC, or copy company records to personal accounts unless your employer explicitly permits it; use approved HR, legal, compliance, or records systems for sensitive workplace information.

A.I.G

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

Risk Level: Medium

## Documenting Problems

**What to document:**
- Date, time, what happened
- Who was present
- Impact on your work
- Your response

**Where:** Personal notes, not work systems. BCC yourself.

**When to use:** Only if escalation becomes necessary.

Technical Analysis

The instruction recommends retaining workplace-incident records in personal notes and using BCC to send records to oneself. Following this advice may transfer corporate email content, employee information, investigation material, or other confidential business records from organization-managed systems into personal email accounts or unmanaged storage.

This bypasses controls commonly applied to corporate systems, including data-loss prevention, access control, retention schedules, legal holds, audit logging, encryption policies, and centralized incident response. The issue does not automatically execute data exfiltration; exploitation requires a user or agent to follow the recommendation while handling sensitive material.

Attack Path

1. A user asks the Skill for guidance about documenting a workplace dispute or policy issue.
2. The Skill recommends recording dates, participants, events, impacts, and responses.
3. The user follows the instruction to keep those records in personal notes or BCC themselves.
4. Sensitive workplace content is copied or delivered to a personal account or unmanaged device.
5. The information falls outside organizational security and retention controls.
6. An unauthorized party may subsequently access it through account compromise, device loss, accidental sharing, or insecure backup synchronization.

Remediation Suggestions

Replace the unsafe storage instruction with guidance that keeps records within approved organizational controls, for example:

markdown

**Where:** Store factual records only in organization-approved systems. Do not forward, BCC, or copy company information to personal accounts or unmanaged storage. Follow applicable HR, legal, privacy, retention, and reporting policies.

Additional hardening measures:

1. Direct users to approved HR, legal, compliance, ethics, or incident-reporting channels.
2. Explicitly prohibit sending corporate records to personal email accounts.
3. Require data minimization: document only facts necessary for the legitimate reporting purpose.
4. Avoid retaining unnecessary personal, medical, disciplinary, or otherwise sensitive employee information.
5. Preserve records under applicable retention and legal-hold requirements.
6. Advise users to seek authorization from HR, Legal, or Information Security when unsure where records may be stored.
7. Clarify that local law and organizational policy take precedence over generic documentation advice.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

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

Finding

The guidance to keep personal notes and BCC yourself encourages users to move workplace information into personal channels without addressing confidentiality, records-retention, privacy, or employer policy constraints. In a workplace-advice skill, that can lead users to exfiltrate sensitive business communications or create undisclosed shadow records that may violate policy or legal obligations.
