News Aggregator Pro

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple news aggregation skill that tells the agent to search public news sources and summarize them, with no hidden code or persistence.

Before installing, understand that this skill will use web/news search tools to gather public current-events information and will likely produce Chinese-formatted summaries unless the user asks otherwise. Treat military or anonymous-source reporting as something to verify against authoritative sources.

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 manifest description and main body are written as mandatory Chinese instructions for aggregating and presenting news, with no indication that users may choose another language. This creates a natural-language locale policy issue because the skill appears to impose a specific language by default rather than making it optional or clearly justified as region-specific.
