Pest Analysis

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward PEST analysis template with no code execution, credential access, persistence, or hidden data handling.

Before installing, be aware that generic business phrases may trigger this skill when you only meant to discuss external factors generally; otherwise it appears limited to producing strategic analysis text.

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

Finding

The trigger list contains broad generic phrases like "macro environment" and "external factors" that are likely to appear in ordinary business discussions, increasing the chance the skill is invoked unintentionally. Over-broad invocation can cause context hijacking or misrouting of user requests, leading the agent to apply this skill when the user did not explicitly request a PEST analysis.
