Korean Side Hustle Generator

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This markdown-only side-hustle planning skill has some language and metadata quality issues, but it does not include code, persistence, credential access, or hidden high-impact behavior.

Before installing, expect a simple advice-generation skill for Korean side-hustle ideas. Review the mixed-language wording and broad trigger behavior if precise Korean-only output matters, and independently verify legal, tax, platform, and income claims before acting on the advice.

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
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • 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
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The activation description is broad enough to trigger on many common requests about ideas, income, or side jobs, which can cause the skill to activate when the user did not clearly ask for this specific capability. Over-broad activation increases the chance of unintended routing, irrelevant responses, and policy bypass of more appropriate skills or base-model behavior.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill metadata mixes Korean with Chinese and Russian text without giving the user a language choice, which can push multilingual output unexpectedly. This can confuse users, degrade reliability, and create prompt-routing or instruction-following issues if downstream components assume a single language.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The operational instructions continue the mixed-language pattern, increasing the likelihood that generated responses will contain unexpected Chinese or other non-requested language fragments. In context, this makes the skill less trustworthy and can mislead users about requirements, steps, or financial estimates in a side-income planning workflow.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category

Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The principles section reinforces multilingual wording without justification, which perpetuates the same output-integrity problem throughout the skill. While less severe than broad activation or core instructions, it still contributes to inconsistent behavior and user confusion.
