Security audit

Freelance Proposal Engine

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill does ordinary proposal-writing work, but it asks for shell, write, and broad file-discovery tools that are not needed for that purpose.

Install only if you are comfortable with the skill having more local authority than its proposal-writing workflow appears to need. A safer version would remove Bash, Write, Grep, and Glob, and would limit web/file access to the specific listing URL or file path you provide.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
  • 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
