Security audit

Advisor Finder

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a public academic-advisor research workflow with no executable code, persistence, credential access, or hidden system changes.

Install only if a Chinese-language advisor shortlist is acceptable, or edit the output-language instruction to follow the user's preferred language. Expect the skill to browse public university and publication sources when used.

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

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The skill hard-codes output in Chinese ('Write in direct Chinese') regardless of the user's language preference. This can override user intent, reduce transparency, and cause misleading or unusable output for users who do not read Chinese, especially in a decision-support workflow where nuance matters. The surrounding skill is otherwise focused on advisor discovery, so the issue is not directly security-critical, but it is still a real policy/control flaw.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The template labels and action items are written entirely in Chinese, which imposes a specific language/locale on the skill output. Under the policy, language constraints should either be user-selectable or clearly justified as region-specific; neither is stated here.
