Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed Product Hunt launch-writing helper with no executable code or hidden privileged behavior.

Installers should know this skill may activate on broad product-launch wording and may encourage the agent to inspect a live product URL to draft better copy. Review generated Product Hunt text before posting, but no hidden code execution, credential use, or automatic submission behavior was found.

A.I.G

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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The trigger conditions are broad enough to activate on generic phrases like launching a new product or suitability questions, which can cause the skill to take over conversations that are not actually about Product Hunt. This is risky because it may steer the agent into gathering URLs, inferring details from external sources, and producing submission content in contexts where the user intended a broader strategy discussion or a different platform.

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.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
78% confidence
Finding

The manifest explicitly includes Chinese trigger phrasing, but the skill does not state that language choice should follow the user's preference or offer opt-in for output language. This creates a locale/language policy concern because the file hardcodes multilingual activation behavior without clarifying user-controlled language selection.
