Parallel Enrichment

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Parallel API enrichment guide, but users should be careful about sending private CSV data to an external service.

Install only if you intend to use Parallel for external data enrichment. Do not submit secrets, credentials, regulated personal data, or confidential datasets unless your policies allow Parallel processing, and choose output paths whose files you are comfortable retaining locally.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The skill encourages users to submit CSVs or inline records to a third-party enrichment service and writes results to disk, but the description does not clearly warn about that data flow. This can cause users to unintentionally disclose sensitive or regulated data externally and leave enriched outputs on local storage where they may be mishandled.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

The trigger guidance is broad enough to match common requests like research, CSV handling, and contact lookups, which increases the chance the skill is invoked by default even when the user did not intend to use an external enrichment provider. In this skill's context, over-invocation is more dangerous because the action sends user-supplied datasets to a third-party service and persists output files, amplifying privacy and data-handling risks.
