ChatSPSS

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

ChatSPSS runs local statistical analyses with access and behavior proportionate to its stated purpose.

Use an isolated Python environment and select only datasets you intend your agent to analyze. Results can reproduce dataset labels and text in the conversation. Table headings are Chinese, although explanations may be English. The optional external website and installed dependency internals are outside this bundled-code review.

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
  • Output HandlingUnvalidated Output Injection, Cross-Context Output, Unbounded Output
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
Findings (2)

Scope Creep

Low
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding

Skill's behavior or capabilities extend beyond its stated purpose. Scope creep allows an agent to perform actions unrelated to its documented functionality, increasing the attack surface.

Analysis reports are fixed to Chinese without a user language choice or a documented locale-specific justification.

Output Handling
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

L0482 explicitly specifies Chinese Markdown result tables, and report headings, explanations, and warnings throughout the script implement that fixed language. The CLI provides no language selection, and the file gives no regional or compliance justification for the restriction.
