Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a simple diagnostic prompt with no code execution or persistence, but it forces every result to include paid-product promotion and an external link.

Review before installing if you do not want diagnostic answers to include mandatory AGDP paid-skill recommendations and a third-party link. The artifact does not show local system compromise behavior, but its output policy is commercially biased and intentionally hard for a caller to omit or shorten.

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
