Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill only provides navigation tips and tag URLs for a news site, with no executable code or sensitive access.

Users can treat this as a low-risk navigation helper. Verify tag URLs against the listed tags or the site's tags page if precision matters, especially because the artifact includes a misspelled tag entry and encourages guessing categories.

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 instruction "If it sounds like a news category, it’s probably a tag" gives a vague activation heuristic rather than a specific, bounded list or constraint. This can cause unintended or incorrect use because many everyday topics could 'sound like' news categories without actually being valid tags.
