Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a LinkedIn writing-guidance skill with no executable code, network access, credential handling, persistence, or hidden high-impact behavior.

Before installing, note that this skill may be selected for some generic professional-post requests because of broad trigger wording, so users should specify LinkedIn when they want this guidance and choose another writing skill for other platforms.

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 invocation description is broad enough to match many generic professional-writing requests, which can cause the skill to trigger outside its intended LinkedIn-specific scope. That increases the chance of misrouting user tasks, applying platform-specific guidance inappropriately, or overriding a more suitable skill when requests mention generic professional content.
