Product Marketing Context

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed product-marketing setup helper that reads project materials to draft a local context document and does not include hidden code, network behavior, or credential handling.

Before using auto-draft, be aware it may read project files and summarize product, audience, pricing, and positioning into .agents/product-marketing-context.md. Review the draft before relying on it or sharing it, especially if the repository contains private strategy, customer names, pricing, or internal notes.

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
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Behavioral ASTexec() Call, eval() Call, Dynamic Import
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access

Anti-Refusal Statement

High
Category
Anti-Refusal
Confidence
85% confidence
Finding

Skill instructs the agent to omit warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Stripping safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The instruction to use the skill 'at the start of any new project' is an ambiguous global activation condition that can override normal intent matching and cause the skill to run in many unrelated project starts. In context, this is risky because the skill can read repository materials and write .agents/product-marketing-context.md, so accidental invocation expands access and side effects without sufficiently specific user direction.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

This JSON eval file is a manifest-like file, so vague-trigger checks apply. The expected behavior explicitly says the skill 'Should trigger on casual phrasing' for a generic request to 'create a product context doc', which overlaps with ordinary conversation and does not define clear activation boundaries or exclusions.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The auto-draft workflow instructs the agent to scan the codebase and marketing materials, then draft and save context, but does not require clear disclosure of what files will be accessed or explicit approval before scanning and writing. This can lead to overbroad repository access and unanticipated persistence of derived content, which is more sensitive than a simple manual draft flow.

Missing User Warnings

Confidence
85% confidence
Finding

The skill directs the agent to study the repo—README, landing pages, package.json, and other docs—to auto-draft the context, but it does not require an explicit warning or consent flow about scanning repository contents. Even though this is framed as a productivity feature, it can surprise users by broadening data access and pulling potentially sensitive internal information into generated marketing context.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
82% confidence
Finding

The eval expects the agent to create .agents/product-marketing-context.md when complete, but does not require an explicit confirmation step immediately before writing. Silent writes can cause unintended filesystem changes, especially if the conversation produced a draft the user did not intend to save yet.
