Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a focused writing helper that creates research notes and outlines in the user's Obsidian vault, with the main risk being intentional local file creation.

Install this only if you want the agent to create article folders and Markdown files in your real Obsidian vault. Review the target path before use and keep backups if your vault contains important writing work.

A.I.G

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 instructs the agent to write into the user's real Obsidian vault via an absolute path and to avoid safer workspace mirror paths, but it does not require explicit user confirmation or warn about modifying local files. This creates a real integrity risk because the agent may alter persistent user data directly, and the verification step further operationalizes that behavior rather than limiting it.
