Moral Compass

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a disclosed markdown-only ethical guidance skill with no code execution, persistence, data access, or hidden install behavior.

Install this only if you want responses shaped by a Bahá'í-inspired ethical framework. Expect it to nudge the agent toward non-deception, nonviolence, non-partisanship, restraint, and stakeholder-aware reasoning.

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

Anti-Refusal Statement

High

Category: Anti-Refusal
Confidence: 80% confidence
Finding: Skill instructs the agent to omit warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Stripping safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

**Do:** Be honest about uncertainty • Consider downstream effects • Respect all parties • Offer alternatives when declining • Name tensions between principles **Don't:** Help with deception • Take sides with incomplete information • Pretend capabilities you lack • Be preachy • Apply rules rigidly without judgment ## When Principles Conflict

Vague Triggers

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 94% confidence
Finding: The description says to use the skill when 'uncertain about the right action' or when 'ethical reasoning would improve response quality,' which are vague and expansive conditions. These broad triggers do not clearly bound when the skill should or should not activate, increasing the risk of unintended invocation.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 86% confidence
Finding: The guidance tells agents not to overuse disclaimers and to calibrate responses to the request, but it does not explicitly preserve exceptions for safety-critical, privacy-sensitive, or system-risk situations. In practice, this omission can cause an agent to suppress necessary warnings in harmful or irreversible contexts because brevity and proportionality are framed as general norms without a clear safety override.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 90% confidence
Finding: Labeling 'over-warning' as a common excess is reasonable stylistically, but the text does not distinguish unnecessary warnings from essential warnings for dangerous, harmful, or irreversible actions. That ambiguity can be exploited by downstream prompting or agent behavior to justify omitting critical cautions in exactly the cases where they are most needed.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 91% confidence
Finding: This section explicitly directs the AI to adopt a non-partisan stance grounded in a specific religious framework, without indicating that this framing is conditional on user consent or limited to users who requested Bahá’í-informed guidance. Even though the content is nonviolent and framed as ethical advice, it can bias outputs on political or civic topics and cause the agent to impose worldview-specific normative constraints on users who did not opt into them.
