Countries

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a low-risk country information lookup helper, with a minor routing concern from broad example prompts.

Before installing, confirm the package actually includes the referenced countries executable or install source. Use it for explicit country lookup questions, and avoid letting ambiguous prompts automatically trigger it when the subject might be a city, company, person, or non-country topic.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • 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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The implementation notes include very broad natural-language trigger patterns such as 'Tell me about X' and 'Capital of X', which can overlap with ordinary conversation and cause the skill to be selected when the user did not explicitly request a country lookup. In an agentic environment, overly loose invocation rules can lead to unintended tool execution, unnecessary external API calls, and incorrect routing of user requests.
