Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a Google Ads guidance skill with no executable code, persistence, credential access, or hidden behavior.

Installers should know this skill may activate for general PPC or SEM questions, so users should confirm they specifically want Google Ads advice when the channel is ambiguous. No security-sensitive execution behavior was found in the inspected artifact.

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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
The trigger description is unusually broad and includes many generic marketing and ads-related phrases, which can cause the skill to activate when the user's intent is only loosely related to Google Ads. Unintended invocation can steer conversations into the wrong workflow, increase the chance of irrelevant guidance being surfaced, and override a more appropriate skill or safer default behavior.
