Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a plain academic venue recommendation guide with no executable code, persistence, credential access, or hidden data movement.

Installers should understand that the skill may activate for publication-venue questions and may ask for paper drafts or abstracts; only provide manuscript content you are comfortable sharing with the agent environment. No security-relevant execution or persistence behavior was found in the artifact.

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
