PCI DSS Checker

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward PCI DSS assessment API, but users should treat the submitted compliance and security-control details as sensitive third-party data sharing.

Before installing, confirm that your organization is comfortable sending PCI scoping and security-control answers to the listed third-party API. Do not submit live cardholder data, credentials, secrets, or unnecessary infrastructure details.

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

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill solicits detailed PCI-relevant environment and security-control data, including whether card data is stored, transmitted, encrypted, segmented, and monitored, but does not clearly warn users that this sensitive compliance and security posture information is being sent to an external third-party API. Even without raw PAN data, this metadata can materially aid an attacker by revealing defensive gaps, architecture, and compliance weaknesses, and it creates confidentiality, regulatory, and vendor-risk concerns.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The skill references and depends on an external API endpoint, meaning organizational security and PCI-scoping data will leave the local trust boundary and be transmitted to infrastructure outside the user's control. In the context of PCI DSS assessment, this is more sensitive than ordinary telemetry because the submitted information can expose compliance gaps and system characteristics that should be tightly controlled.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low

Confidence
72% confidence
Finding

Natural-language strings such as the title and summary are presented only in English, and the file provides no indication that users may choose another language or locale. Under the policy, forcing a specific language without opt-in can be a natural-language policy concern.

Vague Triggers

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
77% confidence
Finding

This is a manifest/config-style file, so vague-trigger review applies. The path and operation metadata describe a generic "PCI DSS Compliance Check" action but provide no narrowing context about when this skill should or should not be invoked, increasing the risk of unintended activation from broad compliance-related requests.
