Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This writing skill uses web research and local article files in ways that fit its stated purpose.

Use it within the intended article repository. Check its source-selection preferences and supply or adapt the missing repository conventions and example documents. Publishing is delegated to separate skills.

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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • 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

Autonomous Decision Making

Excessive Agency
Confidence
75% confidence
Finding

Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

- **Where to verify 传统色名**: 中国丝绸博物馆"乾隆色谱"(reconstructed from the 乾隆 weaving-bureau dye records — 蓝八色、黄五色、红四色、紫五色、绿六色…; `chinasilkmuseum.com`); 汉典 `zdic.net` (词义 / 釉色); 故宫博物院 `dpm.org.cn`; referenced 维基百科 colour entries. **不采** 知乎 / 百度百科 / 博客.
- **Gloss vs claim.** A reader-help gloss ("蜜合色≈浅黄白") is editorial — **no citation needed**. A statement *about* a colour's status or use ("石青是清代官服主色") is a **claim** — cite it, or mark 待核实.
- **Widely-cited ≠ verifiable.** 清·李斗《扬州画舫录》"浅黄白色曰蜜合" is quoted everywhere for 蜜合色, but the book is **not on 维基文库** — without checking the text itself, mark 待核实. 传统色名 are fuzzy; some (e.g. 靠色) have no reliable definition — don't invent one.
- **《红楼梦》fact-check examples** (worked examples, not general rules): 第五十回 reads 仇十洲《**双艳图**》, not 艳雪图; 黛玉 is **not** "通篇不写衣饰" (第八回、第四十九回 both have real outfit descriptions) — avoid absolutes. Reading a person's colour as a "code" is a *reader's interpretation* — label it (item 28).
