Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward marketing strategy skill with no executable code, persistence, credential access, or hidden behavior.

Review the linked external resources and be aware the skill may activate for broad indie-founder or startup-growth discussions, but the packaged artifact itself is advisory Markdown only.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The manifest description contains many broad trigger phrases and scenario matches, which can cause this skill to activate for generic startup, growth, or founder discussions where a more specific skill may be appropriate. Over-broad activation increases the chance of incorrect routing, irrelevant guidance, and unintended invocation of linked downstream skills, which can degrade system behavior and expose users to mismatched advice.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
87% confidence
Finding

The markdown directs users to an external resource at an '/zh/' URL, which implies a Chinese-language or locale-specific page. Because the skill does not offer a language option or explain that the linked resource is region- or language-specific, it creates a potential language/locale policy issue.
