They also prohibit document delivery unless a logo and company name are added. ### Technical Analysis The skill declares itself mandatory for every Word-generation request, regardless of whether the user selected it or requested its formatting conventions. It then makes delivery conditional on inserting company branding. These instructions alter the agent's task-selection behavior and output requirements when the skill is loaded. Branding is not presented as an optional feature controlled by the user. This can cause unrelated contracts, reports, quotations, or official documents to contain the skill publisher's identity or assets. The issue is instruction-level behavior rather than a normal document-template default because the skill: 1. Claims exclusive control over all Word-generation tasks. 2. Treats its branding requirements as mandatory. 3. Directs the agent to withhold delivery if those requirements are not met. 4. Applies these requirements without confirming that the company identity belongs to the user. ### Attack Path 1. The skill is installed or loaded into an agent. 2. A user asks the agent to create any Word document. 3. The broad trigger and mandatory-use instruction cause this skill to take control of the request. 4.

- Remediation
- <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Remove instructions claiming that the skill must handle every Word-generation task. 2. Remove any instruction that prohibits delivery unless publisher-specific branding is present. 3. Make the template an optional formatting choice rather than a mandatory global handler. 4. Require explicit user confirmation before adding a company name, logo, slogan, vision statement, or other organizational identity. 5. Accept branding information only through user-provided parameters or assets. 6. Default to an unbranded document when the user has not requested branding. 7. Clearly distinguish formatting validation from security or delivery requirements. 8. Narrow trigger phrases so the skill is selected only when the user asks for this specific template or formatting convention. ]]>
