Housing Dispute Help Planner

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a non-executable planning skill for a specific housing-dispute help request, with the main risk being overly broad automatic triggers.

Install only if you want an implicit helper for this specific housing-dispute topic. The publisher should narrow the activation terms or require explicit invocation, because generic words like 'ask' and 'hello' may cause the skill to appear in unrelated requests.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Vague Triggers

High
Category

Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The skill metadata description says it should activate for broad terms like 'general-help', 'ask-hn', 'ask', and 'hello'. Terms such as 'ask' and 'hello' are common in ordinary conversations, so the skill may be invoked outside its intended housing-dispute context, causing context hijacking or misrouting of user requests.

Vague Triggers

High
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

The trigger keyword list includes highly ambiguous terms including 'ask', 'hello', and 'landing' without any contextual constraints. Because these words are common across unrelated requests, they can cause unintended invocation of this skill, leading to incorrect assistance, suppression of more appropriate skills, or attacker-crafted prompts that deliberately force skill selection.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The usage signals are broad enough to match generic terms like 'ask', 'general-help', and fragments of the topic, which can cause this skill to be invoked for unrelated requests. Unintended invocation can route users into an inappropriate workflow, causing misleading guidance, context confusion, and potential interference with more suitable skills.
