Edge Computing

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a narrow career-roadmap API integration that asks for career assessment details and identifiers to generate edge-computing learning guidance.

Before installing, be aware that using the roadmap endpoint may send your skills, work experience, goals, session ID, timestamp, and optional user ID to the provider's API. Avoid including secrets or highly sensitive personal details in the assessment fields, and review the provider's privacy terms if retention or account tracking 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

Confidence

Finding

The skill explicitly documents collection and transmission of sessionId, userId, timestamps, and detailed assessment data without any privacy notice, minimization guidance, or handling constraints. While these fields may be operationally useful, the absence of disclosure and safeguards increases the risk of unnecessary personal-data exposure, cross-session tracking, and downstream logging of identifiable user activity.

Finding

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

Vague Triggers

Finding

This is a manifest-format file, so vague-trigger review applies. The API operation is described only as generating a personalized roadmap, but provides no constraints about when this capability should be invoked, what explicit trigger phrases map to it, or any exclusion conditions, making activation scope overly broad in a skill-routing context.
