Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed teaching-style adapter with no code execution, external access, or hidden privileged behavior.

Install this only if you want the assistant to use a more structured, beginner-friendly teaching style by default. You can still ask for shorter, more direct, or differently formatted answers, and the skill itself does not add code, background processes, or external data access.

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

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Finding
The skill description and later language rules set communication defaults such as preferred language style, sentence structure, and formatting without an explicit per-user opt-in. While not an exploit in the classic sense, this can steer model behavior in ways that override user preference, reduce autonomy, or create subtle prompt-priority conflicts when a user wants a different communication style.
