Security audit

Cue 深度研究(通用版)

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This research skill needs review because it promises not to process personal data while advertising searches of executives’ litigation, penalties, and ownership records.

Clarify the scope of person-related research before installing, and treat executive and litigation records as personal information despite the description. Keep queries and uploaded style documents non-sensitive, configure the API key locally, and review the downloaded runner before execution. The runner version is not pinned.

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

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

Remote code is downloaded and executed. This bypasses code review and could introduce malicious code.

The advertised executive-risk research capability includes personal data despite the manifest's explicit exclusion.

Medium
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The skill excludes personal-data processing in its description but advertises executive histories, personal litigation, penalties, and beneficial ownership research. Public availability does not make information non-personal, so this inconsistency could lead an agent to retrieve and aggregate personal information while incorrectly assuring users that no personal data is processed.

Commands invoke sudo or root privileges. Verify this elevated access is necessary and justified.
