Security audit

Customer Churn Prediction Analyst

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill has a legitimate churn-analysis purpose, but it asks for broad customer/payment data access and has unclear third-party data handling and automation boundaries.

Review this skill before installing in a production workspace. Use scoped or test API keys where possible, confirm what customer data may be sent to OpenAI, Slack, or custom SaaS endpoints, and avoid enabling scheduled runs until notification contents, storage, and approval workflows are clear.

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
  • MCP Tool PoisoningHidden Instructions, Unicode Deception, Parameter Description Injection
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Intent-Code Divergence

Finding

The documentation creates a safety guarantee that the skill will not use deceptive urgency, but the example campaign includes scarcity-style language such as 'Last chance' and an expiration-based pressure tactic. This inconsistency can lead operators to trust the guardrails while deploying messaging that may violate the stated policy, brand standards, or consumer-protection rules.

Intent-Code Divergence

Category

Confidence
83% confidence
Finding

The skill claims it only generates recommendations requiring explicit approval, yet other sections describe automated Slack notifications, scheduling, and intervention deployment tracking in a way that implies operational automation. This can mislead users about the degree of autonomous action and cause unintended disclosure of customer risk data or execution of retention workflows without adequate review.
