Security audit

Reading Squad

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple prompt-only reading discussion skill with no code, tools, persistence, or data access.

Before installing, be aware that the ready-made templates are Chinese-first and use named public-person style personas; users who want another language should adapt the prompts accordingly. No security-sensitive access or execution behavior was found in the inspected artifact.

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

Finding

The skill hard-codes its core prompt templates and example interaction flow in Chinese, which can override or conflict with the user's preferred language and cause the agent to respond in an unexpected language. In multi-agent or chained workflows, this can degrade usability, cause misunderstanding of instructions or outputs, and reduce operator oversight because reviewers may not understand the generated content.
