Sichuan Cuisine (川菜大全)

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a markdown-only Sichuan cooking reference skill with no code execution, network access, credential handling, or persistence, though users should apply normal kitchen safety judgment.

Install only if you want Sichuan-focused cooking help. For recipes involving hot oil, deep frying, or smoking, use strong ventilation, stable cookware, close supervision, and appropriate grease-fire safety practices; also adjust ingredient advice for your location and dietary 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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill description and trigger list are very broad, covering many generic food and recipe-related terms, which can cause the skill to activate outside narrowly intended Sichuan-cuisine requests. Over-broad invocation is dangerous because it can inappropriately steer user interactions, overshadow more suitable skills, and increase the chance that hidden or low-quality guidance is injected into unrelated conversations.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category

Confidence
84% confidence
Finding

The workflow instructs the skill to assume a default 'Chengdu context' for recommendations without confirming the user's location, ingredient availability, or preference. This is risky because it can produce misleading substitutions, sourcing advice, or meal recommendations that do not fit the user's actual region, dietary constraints, or market access.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence

Finding

This markdown file is entirely written in Chinese and does not provide any indication that the language choice is optional or limited to a justified region-specific context. Under the policy for natural-language violations, forcing a specific language without user opt-in can be a locale-policy issue.

Missing User Warnings

Finding

The recipe database repeatedly instructs users to heat oil to very high temperatures, including '冒烟' and explicit 180–200°C ranges, without any accompanying burn, splatter, or fire safety guidance. In a cooking skill this is not malicious, but it is still a real safety issue because inexperienced users may follow the steps literally and suffer oil burns or grease fires.

Missing User Warnings

Finding

The 樟茶鸭 recipe includes indoor smoking/heating of leaves and branches but does not warn about ventilation, smoke inhalation, or ignition risk. In context this is legitimate culinary content, yet the omission creates a real household safety hazard, especially for users attempting the technique in small or poorly ventilated kitchens.
