Copy Editing

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a copy-editing guide for improving existing marketing copy, with no executable code or hidden high-impact behavior found.

Before installing, be aware that the skill may ask the agent to read local brand or product-marketing context files if they exist, so only use it in workspaces where those files are appropriate context for copy editing.

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 evaluation expects the skill to trigger on vague, casual phrasing ('it feels too long and wordy') without tightly constraining that activation to clear copy-editing intent. Broad trigger criteria can cause the agent to invoke this skill in unrelated contexts, leading to incorrect routing, policy bypass through unintended tool/skill selection, or degraded reliability of downstream behavior.
