Security audit

Competitor Market Analyst

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a simple market-analysis prompt that asks the agent to research prices and competitors and does not request privileged access or persistent behavior.

Install only if you want an agent to perform product and competitor market research. Expect it to use web search for current pricing or market facts, and review cited or unverifiable data before making business decisions.

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
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Finding

The skill's activation guidance is very broad, using generic phrases like 'competitive analysis' and 'market comparison' without clear boundaries on when this skill should or should not be invoked. In an agent environment, this can cause over-triggering, leading the system to apply the skill to loosely related requests and potentially perform unnecessary external searches or produce misleading market-analysis outputs in the wrong context.
