Security audit

Bidding Doc Helper

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward bidding-document assistant with no executable code, persistence, credential use, network behavior, or hidden actions.

Install only if you want bidding/proposal drafting help. When using it, provide only the tender sections needed for the task, redact unnecessary personal ID numbers, tax/social-security details, and financial data, and have a qualified reviewer check pricing, legal, and compliance content before submission.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Vague Triggers

Finding

The trigger conditions are broad enough that ordinary discussion of bidding, proposal writing, or technical plans could activate the skill unintentionally. In this skill’s context, unintended activation is more concerning because it can prompt users to provide sensitive procurement, identity, qualification, and financial documents that were not necessary for their original request.

Missing User Warnings

Confidence

Finding

The skill instructs collection and processing of highly sensitive bidding and identity-related materials, including ID documents, licenses, tax/social-security records, financial statements, and qualification documents, but provides no warning, minimization guidance, or handling precautions. In a procurement context, this increases the risk of over-collection, inadvertent disclosure, and misuse of regulated or business-sensitive information.
