REGULATORYCHANGEMONITOR

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill coherently monitors public regulator websites and keeps a small disclosed local state file to avoid duplicate alerts.

Before installing, be aware that the skill is intended to run daily, access public regulator websites, and maintain a small last-run.md state file. Review or adjust the listed regulators, focus sectors, and alert threshold to match your compliance needs.

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
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Finding

The skill explicitly instructs the agent to create or update last-run.md in the workspace but does not warn the user that running the skill will modify local state. This is not overtly malicious, but silent workspace writes can surprise users, create auditability issues, and normalize file modification without consent, especially for scheduled runs.
