Vulnerability Type: Privacy-invasive intelligence collection and psychological profiling
Risk Level: MediumVulnerable Instruction Snippet
text Information acquisition strategy: L1 — User-provided information: Ask the user for known information about decision-makers. L2 — Public search: Search public speeches, interviews, and industry forum statements. L3 — Career history: Search LinkedIn, Maimai, and industry reports for career history. L4 — Industry inference: Infer characteristics from industry conventions and company attributes. If the user provides a decision-maker's name: 1.

Remediation Suggestions
- Restrict stakeholder analysis to role-relevant professional responsibilities, published organizational authority, and confirmed evaluation criteria.
- Prohibit inference of personal fears, psychological vulnerabilities, private pressure, or personality from career history.
- Require explicit user confirmation before researching a named individual.
- Use aggregate role profiles by default, such as “procurement lead” or “brand director,” rather than named-person dossiers.
- Clearly distinguish verified facts, user claims, and model inferences.
- Do not infer protected or sensitive traits.
- Add data-minimization rules to inter-agent handoffs and exclude names unless operationally necessary.
- Warn users not to provide confidential insider information, private contact data, or unlawfully obtained personal records.
- Provide a deletion or non-retention statement for supplied stakeholder information.
