Monitor Competitor Content & Auto-Alert with Slack Integration

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a competitor-research prompt guide that uses expected platform APIs and optional exports, with some secret-handling and data-sharing cautions users should understand.

Install only if you are comfortable connecting external API keys and optionally sending generated reports to services such as Slack or Google Sheets. Store keys in a secure environment or secret manager, avoid committing them to repositories, use least-privilege credentials where possible, and review report contents before exporting sensitive business strategy 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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • 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

Finding

The skill advertises exports to Slack, Google Sheets, Notion, and a CMS without clearly warning users that collected competitor analysis data may be transmitted to third-party services. This creates a meaningful risk of unintended data disclosure, especially if users include proprietary notes, internal strategy, or sensitive research in the generated reports.

Missing User Warnings

Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The setup section instructs users to store multiple API keys and a Slack webhook URL but does not warn about secret handling, scope limitation, rotation, or avoiding exposure in logs and repositories. Poor secret hygiene can lead to credential leakage, unauthorized API use, spam via Slack webhooks, and broader compromise of connected services.

Finding

Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.
