Excel Table Structurer

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill restructures uploaded Excel workbooks into a new formatted output file, and the workbook changes are disclosed and aligned with that purpose.

Install only if you want an agent to restructure hierarchical .xlsx files. Run it on a copy or ensure the output path is separate, and confirm the detected column roles before writing the result because it can fill values into blank cells and change workbook formatting.

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

Finding

The skill trigger text is broad enough to match common spreadsheet-cleanup requests, which can cause the agent to invoke this skill in situations the user did not explicitly intend. Because the skill rewrites workbook data and formatting, over-triggering can lead to unintended modification of user files or the wrong transformation being applied to sensitive spreadsheets.

Missing User Warnings

Finding

The skill documentation does not clearly warn that execution rewrites spreadsheet cell contents, propagated values, grouping display, colors, borders, and other formatting. Users may reasonably interpret '整理' or '清理格式' as low-risk cleanup, but the operation can duplicate values across rows and permanently alter workbook structure, creating integrity and workflow risks if run on the wrong file or with the wrong column mapping.
