Thesis Conclusion Writer

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a narrowly scoped academic writing helper that drafts thesis conclusions from user-provided material without hidden execution, persistence, or data-transfer behavior.

Safe to install for thesis-conclusion drafting. Users should provide only the thesis excerpts needed for the conclusion and review the output for academic integrity, accuracy, and school policy compliance.

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

Finding

The interface metadata explicitly describes the skill as a Chinese academic conclusion writer, which can steer outputs toward a specific language without clear user opt-in. While this is not a traditional security flaw, it can cause unintended behavior, reduce user control, and potentially mis-handle sensitive academic content by producing it in the wrong language context.
