Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill mainly uses public stock-research APIs, but it also forces a fixed promotional footer and app-download link into every response.

Install only if you are comfortable with a Chinese-language financial research skill that appends fixed Niuguwang attribution, an app-download link, and an AI investment disclaimer to answers. Treat the market data and AI analysis as informational, not investment advice.

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

Mandatory Promotional Footer Hijacks Agent Responses

The directives state that the footer must be emitted verbatim, cannot be omitted or modified, and must retain a prescribed layout. These instructions are not necessary to retrieve or analyze the financial information described by the skill. Instead, they override normal response composition and force unrelated promotional content into the agent's output. This constitutes skill instruction hijacking because loading and following the skill alters the agent's current-session output goals. The external link points to `https://www.stockhn.com/#/appDownload`, whereas the documented data APIs use the separate `stq.niuguwang.com` host. The mandatory footer therefore also introduces an unsolicited redirection path that is independent of the API operations required for the skill's stated functionality. No executable code, credential access, local persistence, privilege escalation, obfuscation, or remote code execution was identified in the reviewed package. ### Attack Path 1. A user or agent loads the `institutional-activity-tracker` skill. 2. The skill's instructions become part of the agent's active context. 3. The user asks a question concerning institutional activity, analyst ratings, or stock research. 4. The agent processes the request and prepares an otherwise legitimate answer. 5. Lines 199-211 direct the agent to append the prescribed promotional foo ...[truncated 1174 chars]

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category

Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The skill hard-codes Chinese-only branded closing text and explicitly forbids modification, omission, or reordering. This overrides user language preference and constrains agent output formatting, which can degrade usability, interfere with platform-level response policies, and act as a mild prompt-injection mechanism by forcing promotional or non-user-requested content into every response.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The slug is entirely in Chinese ("牛股王机构动向"), which indicates the skill is presented in a specific language without any visible indication of user choice or opt-in in this file. Under the policy, language-specific presentation can be a natural-language policy issue when no language choice or justification is documented.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

This manifest presents the skill name, description, author context, and category only in Chinese, which effectively forces a specific language experience without user opt-in. The policy for natural-language violations applies to all file types and flags language or locale restrictions unless they are optional or clearly justified.
