Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed writing aid for English research-paper introductions and only creates two Markdown output files for the revision work.

Install this if you want an agent to revise English research-paper Introduction text and save both a method report and a revised Markdown document. Before using it on sensitive drafts, choose the working folder deliberately and check whether the generated filenames could overwrite existing files.

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
  • 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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The description says the skill revises 'complete English research-paper Introduction sections,' which imposes a language constraint. Because the file does not offer user opt-in or explain a justified regional or compliance reason for forcing English, this is a natural-language policy concern under the language/locale rule.

Missing User Warnings

Confidence

Finding

The skill explicitly directs the agent to write two Markdown files to disk automatically, including choosing output paths beside the input file or in the working directory, but it does not require user confirmation or provide a warning before doing so. Automatic file writes can surprise users, overwrite expected workspace contents, or persist sensitive input-derived content without consent, which is a real safety issue even though the files are Markdown rather than executable code.
