Copywriting

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a Markdown-only copywriting guide with no executable code, persistence, credential access, or hidden system behavior.

This skill is reasonable to install for marketing copywriting help. Review generated copy for factual accuracy, truthful claims, appropriate urgency, and whether the skill activated in a non-marketing writing context because some triggers are broad.

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
  • 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

Vague Triggers

Medium

Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The trigger list is broad enough to match many ordinary writing requests such as 'headline' or 'write copy', which can cause the skill to activate in contexts beyond specialized marketing copywriting. Overly broad routing increases the chance the agent applies persuasive-sales guidance where a user intended general writing help, creating misfires and unsafe scope expansion.

Autonomous Decision Making

Medium
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding

Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

- Above the fold (so they don't have to scroll to act)
- After explaining value (don't ask before you've sold them)
- Multiple times on long pages (after each value section)
