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

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The description and scope require the skill to write methodology chapters in Chinese and state that the default output is a polished Chinese chapter. This imposes a language choice without offering the user a language option or documenting a justified regional constraint.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The manifest text states the skill is a 'Chinese academic methodology chapter writer' and instructs it to 'write a rigorous Chinese methodology chapter,' which imposes a specific language by default. This is a natural-language locale policy concern because the file does not indicate that users can choose another language or explicitly opt into Chinese output.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

Line L578 states that the prose should be in formal Chinese academic style, and the file title/content consistently frame the guide as Chinese-only. Under the policy rule, forcing a specific language without user opt-in is a natural-language locale constraint that should be either optional or explicitly justified as region-specific.
