General Industry Research Assistant

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward industry-research guidance skill with no executable code, persistence, credential use, or hidden behavior.

Before installing, expect this skill to help structure industry and market research and to recommend public data sources. Review generated reports for source quality and treat estimates as estimates, especially for investment or 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 advertises very broad trigger phrases such as 'industry research', 'market research', and 'industry report', which are generic requests that can overlap with many unrelated user intents. This can cause unintended invocation or routing to this skill when a more specific or safer skill would be more appropriate, reducing precision and potentially exposing users to irrelevant or incomplete analytical workflows.
