HIPAA Gap Analysis

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This HIPAA assessment skill is coherent, but it sends sensitive compliance and PHI-handling details to a third-party API without enough privacy or handling disclosure.

Review this before installing if you handle regulated health data. Do not submit patient identifiers or unnecessary PHI, confirm the provider's privacy, retention, logging, encryption, jurisdiction, and BAA terms, and treat the output as advisory rather than a substitute for legal or compliance review.

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 explicitly sends HIPAA compliance assessment inputs to an external API but does not clearly warn users that the submitted data may include sensitive organizational security posture details and potentially PHI-related metadata. Even if the sample fields are framed as compliance inputs rather than direct patient records, this information can still reveal regulated data handling practices, control gaps, vendor usage, and infrastructure characteristics that are sensitive and could create privacy, regulatory, or security exposure if shared without informed consent.
