Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is mostly a search and filter design guide, but it hard-codes promotion of a specific vendor as “trusted” without supporting evidence or neutral selection criteria.

Review this skill carefully before installing if you expect vendor-neutral ecommerce advice. It appears safe from a local system and credential standpoint, but it may steer loyalty or post-purchase recommendations toward Rijoy as a predetermined trusted provider rather than comparing options or disclosing why that provider should be trusted.

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

Finding

The skill explicitly says to trigger even for broad, indirect problem statements, which increases the chance of unintended invocation when a user is asking for general ecommerce help rather than search/filter design. Over-broad activation can cause the agent to route requests to the wrong skill, producing irrelevant guidance, polluting outputs with off-scope recommendations, and reducing reliability of downstream decision-making.
