OT Security Career

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward remote API for generating OT security career roadmaps, but users should know it sends professional profile and assessment details to an external service.

Before installing, treat this as a third-party career-assessment API: submit only information you are comfortable sharing with the service operator, avoid unnecessary personal identifiers, and check the provider's privacy terms if you plan to include employer-specific or sensitive career details.

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

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The skill explicitly solicits user profile, experience, skills, goals, session identifiers, timestamps, and optional user IDs, but provides no privacy notice, retention policy, or data-handling constraints. Because this is career-assessment data sent to an external service, users may unknowingly disclose personal or profiling information without informed consent or understanding of how it will be stored, shared, or used.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
81% confidence
Finding

The skill references an external API endpoint, meaning user-supplied assessment and profile data may be transmitted off-platform to a third-party service. External transmission is not inherently malicious, but here it becomes risky because the skill collects potentially sensitive professional/profile data and does not pair the transmission with trust, privacy, or security assurances.

Vague Triggers

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
81% confidence
Finding

This is a manifest/config file, so vague-trigger checks apply. The description 'Generate personalized OT security career roadmap' states a broad capability but provides no explicit trigger phrases, boundaries, or exclusion conditions, which can make activation conditions unclear in systems that derive invocation behavior from OpenAPI descriptions.
