Quit Smoking

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple quit-smoking support skill that keeps local progress notes and does not include code, network access, or hidden behavior.

Before installing, understand that the skill may store quit-smoking progress locally for tracking. The publisher may want to rename the "stop cigarettes" trigger to reduce command ambiguity, but the inspected artifact is coherent and low risk.

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

Shadow Command Trigger

Trigger Abuse
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The trigger phrase 'stop cigarettes' begins with the generic command word 'stop', which can collide with built-in assistant or runtime interruption commands. In practice, a user trying to halt the agent or cancel an action could accidentally invoke this skill instead, creating command ambiguity and reducing the reliability of safety-critical stop behavior.
