Shadows Deep Research

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed deep-research prompt workflow with no bundled code or persistence, though its broad trigger wording may make it run for some requests that only needed a lighter answer.

Install this if you want an agent to spend extra effort on major research and decision questions. Be aware it may invoke a longer, source-heavy workflow for phrases like "analyze thoroughly," so use clear wording when you want only a quick answer.

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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The trigger phrases include broad language such as 'explore deeply' and 'analyze thoroughly', which can match ordinary user requests that do not explicitly ask for this specialized skill. This can cause the agent to invoke an unexpectedly heavy research workflow, increasing unnecessary tool use, latency, and the chance of over-collection or unintended behavior in contexts where a simpler response was appropriate.
