Network Security Skills

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward hosted API for network and security skills assessments, with disclosed profile fields and no local execution or persistence, but users should be careful about sending personal or workplace data to the external service.

Before installing, treat submissions as data sent to a third-party assessment API. Use pseudonyms or omit optional organization details when possible, avoid confidential employee records or secrets, and verify the provider's privacy and retention practices before using it for HR or enterprise assessments.

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

Finding

The skill explicitly collects personal and employment-related profile data such as candidate name, organization, current role, target career, and self-assessed skills, but the documentation provides no privacy notice, data handling disclosure, retention policy, or warning about sending sensitive workforce information to a third-party API. In an HR, education, or enterprise assessment context, this omission can lead users to transmit identifiable or sensitive professional data without informed consent, increasing privacy, compliance, and third-party data exposure risk.

Finding

This manifest-style OpenAPI description states that the API 'Generates comprehensive skill assessments and personalized learning roadmaps' but provides no explicit activation boundaries, exclusions, or narrow trigger conditions. In a manifest file, this broad capability description can be interpreted too generally and may allow unintended invocation for generic assessment or roadmap requests.
