Security audit

Competitor Teardown

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed competitor-research workflow that uses web fetching and search for its stated purpose, with no bundled code, persistence, or hidden privilege behavior.

Install this if you want an agent to perform web-based competitor research. Use it with public competitor URLs only, review the sources it cites, and be aware that web pages and reviews may contain biased or manipulative content unless the agent treats them strictly as evidence.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • 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

Finding

The trigger phrases are broad enough to match common business-strategy conversations such as 'competitor analysis' or 'why is competitor winning,' which can cause the skill to activate when the user did not explicitly request this workflow. Unintended invocation can steer the agent into unnecessary web fetching and structured competitor profiling, increasing the chance of irrelevant data access, surprise tool use, or workflow hijacking away from the user's actual intent.
