Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a small documentation-only skill for a disclosed Reddit-to-GitHub reporting workflow, with no bundled executable code or hidden persistence.

Before installing or using this, confirm the referenced workflow script comes from a trusted source, review what repository it can push to, and use narrowly scoped Reddit/GitHub credentials if you run it on a schedule.

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
  • 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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

Finding
This markdown file contains core usage and feature documentation in Chinese, but it does not indicate that the skill is Chinese-only or provide an alternative language option. That can violate a language/locale policy requiring user choice or explicit justification for a locale-specific constraint.
