Language Specialist

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a broad programming-language guidance skill with no executable code, hidden persistence, credential handling, or network behavior.

Before installing, understand that this skill is intentionally broad and opinionated: it may shape many coding answers and may suggest project files, tests, linters, or dependency choices. Review generated code and dependency additions as you normally would, especially in existing projects with their own standards.

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
95% confidence
Finding

The trigger conditions are extremely broad and would activate for a large share of normal coding, debugging, review, migration, and testing requests. That increases the chance of unintended invocation, causing this skill to override more specific or safer skills and expand its influence beyond clear user intent.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

Most of the document is in English, but the final section switches to Chinese for headings and descriptive text without stating that the user prefers Chinese or that multilingual output is optional. This imposes a locale/language change in the skill content rather than explicitly offering the user a choice.
