SDET Automation

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward external API integration for generating SDET career roadmaps, with disclosed tracking fields but limited privacy detail.

Install only if you are comfortable sending career assessment details, session identifiers, timestamps, and optional user identifiers to the provider's external API. Avoid including secrets, employer-confidential material, or unnecessary personal data in the assessment fields, and check the provider's privacy terms if retention or sharing matters to you.

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

Finding

The skill explicitly collects session identifiers, user identifiers, and timestamps for personalization and tracking, but the documentation provides no privacy notice, retention details, consent expectations, or data-handling constraints. This is risky because these fields enable behavioral tracking and correlation of user activity across requests, and users or downstream agents are not warned how this data will be stored, shared, or protected.

Finding

This JSON manifest describes an action as "Generate personalized SDET/Automation Engineer roadmap" without any constraints, invocation boundaries, or exclusion conditions. For manifest files, broad natural-language descriptions like this can create ambiguous activation scope because they do not clarify when the skill should or should not be selected.
