Creating R Research Projects

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward R research-project helper whose file creation and package installation behavior matches its stated purpose.

Before installing or using it, choose the target project directory and review the package list, especially for Bioconductor or large dependency installs. Treat generated analysis code and reports as templates to inspect before running on sensitive or important data.

A.I.G

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

Missing User Warnings

Low
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The skill explicitly creates project directories, installs packages, and saves outputs to disk, but it does not clearly warn the user up front that it will modify the local filesystem. This is not inherently malicious, but undisclosed file creation can surprise users, overwrite existing work, or violate expectations in constrained or read-only environments.
