CISO Career

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward CISO career-roadmap API integration, with the main caveat that it sends professional profile details to a third-party API.

Before using this skill, avoid sending unnecessary identifiers or sensitive employment details, and treat submitted career history, goals, certifications, session IDs, and optional user IDs as data shared with the API provider. No local persistence or privileged installation behavior was found.

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

Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill documentation encourages sending detailed professional assessment data, certifications, goals, timestamps, session identifiers, and a user ID to a third-party API without any privacy notice, retention policy, or data-minimization guidance. Even though the data is career-related rather than obviously secret, it is still identifiable profile data that could be linked to a person and abused for tracking, profiling, or secondary use if mishandled.

Finding

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

Missing User Warnings

Confidence

Finding

The schema collects career history, skills, leadership data, certifications, goals, session identifiers, timestamps, and optional user IDs, which can constitute sensitive professional profile data and enable correlation of a user's identity over time. Without any user-facing disclosure or minimization guidance in the API spec, an integrating agent may transmit more personal data than users reasonably expect, increasing privacy and compliance risk.

Vague Triggers

Finding

This is a manifest/config file, so vague-trigger review applies. The description 'Generate personalized CISO career roadmap' states the capability but provides no specificity about when this skill should or should not be invoked, which can lead to overly broad matching in systems that infer invocation from manifest text.
