Security audit

Research Paper Orchestrator

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a markdown-only academic writing orchestrator with a clear purpose, but users should treat its full-paper generation workflow carefully for academic integrity reasons.

Install only if you want a writing-support workflow and will use it within your institution's rules. It is best used for planning, research organization, citation help, drafting support, and review, not to submit generated work as your own when that is prohibited.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • 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

Finding
The skill activates on very broad academic-assistance requests such as comprehensive research papers, dissertations, and thesis chapters, without meaningful narrowing, safeguards, or exclusion criteria. This creates a realistic risk of facilitating academic misconduct or bypassing institutional authorship requirements because the orchestrator is designed to produce complete doctorate-level papers rather than limited research support.
