Bioinformatics

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward external API integration for bioinformatics career roadmaps, but users should know their career assessment details are sent to the provider.

Install only if you are comfortable sending bioinformatics career goals, skills, experience, timestamps, session IDs, and any optional user ID to the provider's external API. Avoid entering unnecessary personal, employment, or sensitive health-related information unless the provider's privacy and retention terms meet your needs.

A.I.G

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

Finding

The skill documentation shows collection of user identifiers, session IDs, timestamps, and detailed assessment data without any privacy notice, retention guidance, or consent language. Even though this is documentation rather than executable code, it normalizes collection of potentially sensitive profile data and increases the risk of improper handling, undisclosed sharing, or noncompliance with privacy requirements.

Finding

Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.

Missing User Warnings

Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The API accepts assessment data, session identifiers, timestamps, and optional user identifiers, but the specification provides no notice about collection, transmission, minimization, or handling of that data. In a career-roadmap context, this can lead to silent collection of behavioral and identifying information, increasing privacy and compliance risk if users or calling agents transmit more data than expected.

Finding

This is a manifest-style file, so SQP-1 applies. The title and description describe the skill broadly as a bioinformatics career roadmap platform, but do not define clear trigger phrases, boundaries, or exclusion conditions, which can lead to overly broad matching or unintended invocation.
