Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed Chinese-language academic writing workflow for journalism and communication papers, with no hidden persistence, credential access, destructive behavior, or remote execution.

Install this if you want Chinese-language support for journalism and communication paper workflows. Be aware that broad requests like general paper writing may invoke it even when another discipline-specific skill would fit better, and verify citations or research claims independently because the skill itself warns not to fabricate sources.

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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The metadata description includes broad invocation examples such as '帮我写论文' and related generic writing requests. In systems that route skills based on fuzzy matching, these phrases can cause the skill to activate for loosely related or unintended requests, leading to context hijacking or inappropriate workflow steering.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The applicable-scenario section lists multiple ambiguous trigger phrases like '帮我写论文' and '写文献综述' without qualification. This increases the chance of accidental invocation across broad everyday or adjacent academic-writing requests, which can misroute user intent, override a more suitable skill, and expose users to incorrect assumptions about discipline, method, or workflow.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

This markdown file is entirely written in Chinese and presents its guidance only in that language, with no indication that users may choose another language or that the skill is intentionally restricted to a Chinese-language audience. Under the stated policy, forcing a specific language without user opt-in is a natural-language policy concern.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The script returns Chinese-only classification values such as "新闻与传播", "待确认", and "no_input" response context without any opt-in or documented locale constraint. This is a natural-language policy concern because it forces a specific language on all users regardless of their preferred language.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The classification logic and final JSON output use Chinese-language labels throughout, including paper types and discipline names, while also mixing in English stage labels. Because the script does not provide a user language choice or clearly justify a Chinese-only scope, it violates the locale-choice requirement.

Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

This markdown template presents all headings and prompts in Chinese and does not mention any option to choose another language. Under the policy rule for natural-language violations, forcing a specific language without user opt-in is reportable unless the locale constraint is explicitly justified.

Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

This markdown file presents all user-facing content exclusively in Chinese, which can constitute a language-policy issue when no user opt-in or alternative locale is provided. There is no indication in the file that the template is intentionally region-specific or that users may choose another language.

Finding

The file presents all user-facing headings and prompts exclusively in Chinese, with no indication that language can be selected or changed. This can violate a language/locale policy when skills are expected to avoid forcing a specific language absent explicit opt-in or documented regional scope.

Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The entire playbook is written in Chinese and presents the skill content in a single language without indicating that users may choose another language or that the skill is intentionally limited to a Chinese-speaking context. Under the policy rule for natural-language constraints, this can be a locale/language restriction without explicit opt-in or justification.
