Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a coherent career-roadmap API skill, with the main consideration being that assessment details may be sent to an external service.

Before installing or using this skill, avoid sending unnecessary personal details, prefer pseudonymous session identifiers, and review the external service's privacy, retention, and compliance posture if using it for candidates, employees, or HR 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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Missing User Warnings

Confidence
87% confidence
Finding

The skill explicitly handles candidate assessment data, session identifiers, timestamps, and optional user IDs, but provides no privacy notice, data minimization guidance, retention limits, or handling restrictions. This creates a real privacy and compliance risk because integrators may send personally linkable assessment data to a third-party service without clear disclosure, consent, or safeguards.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
78% confidence
Finding

The skill references an external API endpoint for roadmap generation, which means user assessment content and session metadata are intended to leave the local environment and be sent to a third-party service. In this context, the danger is elevated because the transmitted payload includes career-assessment data and identifiers, yet the skill does not document trust boundaries, security controls, or restrictions on what data may be sent externally.
