Applicant Screening Zh

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a Chinese-language resume screening aid that asks for document text extraction only and shows no hidden execution, persistence, credential use, or exfiltration behavior.

Before installing, users should understand that the skill is meant for Chinese-language HR workflows and may process sensitive candidate resumes. Use it as decision support with human review, avoid submitting unnecessary personal data, and apply applicable hiring fairness and privacy rules.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category

Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The skill description contains broad trigger phrases such as resume screening, applicant screening, HR tools, and candidate evaluation that closely match common recruiting language. This can cause the skill to activate unintentionally in normal HR conversations, leading to overbroad invocation, user confusion, and possible exposure of sensitive candidate data to the skill when the user did not explicitly intend to use it.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding

The skill is named with a '-zh' suffix and all instructional content and examples are presented in Chinese, but there is no statement that the user may choose output language or that the locale restriction is intentional and justified. This can violate language-choice policy when a skill appears generally applicable but implicitly defaults users into one language.
