Parental Controls

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a disclosed parental-control monitoring skill description with privacy documentation gaps but no hidden execution, persistence, or unrelated access.

Install only if you are comfortable with a parental-control tool that can record blocked activity and send alerts or weekly reports. Before using it, confirm who receives emails, what activity data is stored, how long it is retained, and that use is lawful and consented to in school or shared-device settings.

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 describes monitoring, real-time alerts, weekly reports, and email notifications about a child's activity, but it does not clearly disclose the privacy implications, data collected, retention, recipients, or consent requirements. In a parental-controls context this omission can lead to covert or poorly understood surveillance, accidental overcollection, and regulatory or trust issues, especially where school monitoring or third-party email delivery is involved.
