Resume & Cover Letter

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill coherently generates resume and cover-letter documents and saves them to a scoped output folder, with no evidence of hidden execution, exfiltration, or persistence.

Before installing, expect the skill to handle personal career/contact details and create resume, cover-letter, HTML, optional LaTeX, and report files in output/career-docs/. Review existing files in that folder if overwrites matter, and avoid providing information you do not want included in generated application materials.

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 explicitly instructs the agent to create and save multiple files under output/career-docs/ without telling the user up front that files will be written. Even though the target path appears scoped and the content is non-executable career documentation, silent file creation/modification can still violate user expectations, overwrite prior outputs, or create persistence on disk without informed consent.
