Elevate Your Profile At Work

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This career-guidance skill is a straightforward external API integration, but users should avoid sending sensitive career or compensation details unless they trust the provider's data handling.

Before installing, consider that career background, goals, preferences, compensation expectations, session IDs, and optional user IDs may be sent to the provider's API. Use only information you are comfortable sharing with that provider and review their privacy terms separately if the data is sensitive.

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
92% confidence
Finding

The skill explicitly processes detailed career assessment data, preferences, compensation expectations, and session-based tracking, but provides no privacy notice, retention limits, consent language, or data-handling safeguards. Because this is sensitive professional profiling data that could identify or disadvantage users if mishandled, the omission creates a real privacy and compliance risk.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
72% confidence
Finding

Natural-language policy checks apply to all file types, including config manifests. The title and description present the tool entirely in English and provide no indication of language choice or locale flexibility, which can be a locale-policy concern when skills are expected not to force a specific language without opt-in.

Vague Triggers

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
77% confidence
Finding

This is a manifest-style file, so vague-trigger checks apply. The description "Generate personalized career guidance" is high-level and lacks details about when this capability should or should not be invoked, which can lead to overly broad matching in systems that use OpenAPI descriptions for tool selection.
