A.I.G

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

Finding
The skill explicitly guides the agent to search for, enrich, and organize identifiable individuals' professional profiles, including names, titles, companies, profile URLs, and background details, but provides no privacy guardrails, lawful-use constraints, or minimization guidance. In context, this increases the risk of doxxing, targeted harassment, non-consensual profiling, or misuse for spam/outreach, especially because it encourages compiling structured person-level results from multiple sources.
