Vibe Coding Skill

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed Cursor workflow guide for structured software development and does not show hidden access, persistence, exfiltration, or destructive behavior.

Install this if you want a Chinese-language, structured coding workflow in Cursor. Be aware that generic mentions of 'vibe' or phase numbers may trigger it, so users who prefer explicit opt-in triggers or another language may want the publisher to narrow the activation wording and document language choice.

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

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

All user-facing instructions and examples are presented only in Chinese, and the document does not state that other languages are supported or that Chinese is an optional preference. Under the policy, forcing a specific language without user opt-in is a natural-language policy concern unless the locale restriction is clearly justified.

Finding

Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.

  - **Phase 1 需求描述**:从一句模糊想法,走到结构化、可执行的需求文档(澄清 → 技术选型 → 模板固化);
  - **Phase 2 架构设计**:在写第一行代码前,先确定项目目录结构、模块职责、数据流向和接口约定;

Vague Triggers

Finding

The auto-trigger examples are broad enough that ordinary conversation terms like 'vibe', '氛围编程', or generic phase references could invoke the skill unintentionally. In an agent environment, unintended invocation can alter assistant behavior and push users into a workflow they did not explicitly request, which is a real prompt-routing and control-scope risk even though the content itself is not overtly malicious.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

Most of the instructional content is presented in Chinese, and the skill directs the assistant to follow these instructions without indicating that the user can choose another language. This creates a language-policy concern because it may effectively force a specific language or locale absent explicit user opt-in.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The activation criteria are broad and keyword-driven, causing the skill to auto-trigger on generic terms like 'vibe', '规范工作流', or phase numbers without confirming user intent. This can unexpectedly steer unrelated conversations into a prescriptive workflow, increasing the chance of inappropriate guidance, context capture, or undesired file/code modifications in a development environment.
