Local LLM Setup Advisor

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a local-LLM setup guidance skill with overly broad activation wording but no hidden code, persistence, credential handling, or privileged behavior.

This skill appears safe to install for local LLM setup advice. Be aware that it may trigger more often than intended because its activation wording is broad; review any generated setup commands, downloads, or hardware recommendations before acting on them.

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
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The trigger sentence is so broad and awkwardly templated that it can match user requests far outside a narrowly defined local-LLM setup use case, increasing the chance this skill activates when it should not. Over-broad activation can route unrelated prompts into this skill, causing unintended behavior, misleading advice, or policy bypass opportunities through misclassification of user intent.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The trigger sentence is phrased as a broad, natural-language request and lacks tight activation boundaries. In an agent system, this can cause accidental or inappropriate skill invocation, leading the agent to apply this skill outside its intended scope and potentially override more suitable or safer behaviors.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

This trigger uses a generic 'I need a practical workflow for...' pattern that is ambiguous and easy to match across many unrelated user requests. Such overbroad matching increases prompt-routing risk, where the skill may be invoked in contexts it was not designed to handle, reducing reliability and potentially exposing downstream workflows to inappropriate instructions.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The trigger phrases are broad and generic enough that the skill could activate for loosely related requests about local AI, workflows, privacy, or consumer hardware. This can cause unintended invocation, leading the agent to apply this skill in the wrong context and potentially produce irrelevant, misleading, or overconfident setup guidance.

Vague Triggers

Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The trigger examples are broad, natural-language phrases that could match ordinary user requests and cause this skill to activate when it was not explicitly intended. Unintended invocation can steer conversations toward this skill's workflow and outputs, increasing the chance of misrouting, prompt-scope confusion, or inappropriate handling of requests that only loosely relate to local LLM setup.

Vague Triggers

Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The trigger keywords are broad and weakly bounded, including generic terms like "privacy" and common technical phrases that may appear in many unrelated requests. This can cause accidental invocation of the skill, leading the agent to apply specialized local-LLM guidance when the user did not intend it, which increases the risk of misrouting, irrelevant advice, or unintended workflow changes.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

The sample trigger phrases use very generic formulations like "Help me" and "I need a practical workflow for...", which are common across many user requests and do not clearly delimit when this skill should activate. If downstream routing or prompt matching relies on these examples, the skill may be selected for loosely related tasks, causing prompt-scope confusion and reducing the reliability of skill selection.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The default prompt is phrased broadly enough that ordinary user requests about software, data, local LLMs, consumer GPUs, CPU inference, workflows, or implementation help could trigger implicit invocation without strong boundaries. This can cause the skill to activate in contexts the user did not explicitly intend, increasing the chance of prompt-routing mistakes, over-collection of user context, or inappropriate delegation to a specialized skill.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The usage signals section lacks precise boundaries for when the skill should and should not activate, and several triggers are generic enough to overlap with ordinary requests for help. In a routing system, ambiguous trigger definitions can cause prompt misrouting, accidental invocation, and broaden the skill's effective authority beyond its intended domain.
