Security audit

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a simple contest-page writing guide with no executable code or hidden high-impact behavior.

Installers should expect this skill to help draft or audit giveaway, sweepstakes, and promotional campaign pages. Review whether the broad "promo" trigger is acceptable in your environment, and be aware it may read existing project-context notes to tailor the output.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • 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

Finding

The skill description includes multiple broad trigger terms such as "promo," "contest," and "giveaway," which can match a wide range of unrelated user requests and cause the skill to activate unexpectedly. Over-broad invocation increases the chance that the agent applies contest-page guidance in the wrong context, leading to irrelevant actions, confusion, or unsafe downstream behavior if other skills should have handled the request.
