Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a plain guidance skill for organizing marketing research sources and does not ask for sensitive access or run code.

Installers should understand this skill may be invoked for some broad research-source phrasing, but its actual instructions are limited to choosing and organizing public information sources for marketing and monitoring workflows.

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 trigger description is broad enough to match common terms like "research sources," "information sources," and "topic research," which can cause the orchestrator to invoke this skill for requests outside its marketing-research purpose. That can lead to misrouting, irrelevant guidance, or overshadowing more appropriate skills, especially if routing relies heavily on keyword matching.
