Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a Markdown-only SEO guidance skill for featured snippet optimization, with no code execution, persistence, credential access, or hidden behavior found.

This skill appears safe to install as an SEO reference skill. Users should treat its SEO statistics as guidance that may need current verification, and be aware that it may activate for broad snippet-related phrasing in general SEO conversations.

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

Finding

The description says to use the skill whenever the user 'wants to optimize for Featured Snippets' and then lists several related phrases, but it does not define boundaries or exclusions for when another SEO skill should be used instead. Terms like 'snippet optimization' and 'answer box' are broad enough to overlap with general SEO conversations, increasing the chance of unintended invocation.
