Content Pillars

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a coherent content-strategy helper that reads and writes local planning documents, with only minor activation-breadth caveats.

Installers should be aware that this skill may be selected for broad content-planning requests, but its behavior is limited to local brand/content planning files. Review generated content-pillars.md before downstream calendar or posting workflows use it.

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

Vague Triggers

Finding

The trigger list includes very broad terms such as "pillars" and "content strategy," which are common in normal conversation and can cause the skill to activate when the user did not specifically intend to invoke it. Unintended activation can divert workflow, load or overwrite planning artifacts, and cause downstream skills to operate on content-pillars output the user did not ask for.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The eval includes the input "Plan my month.", which is broad everyday language that can plausibly activate this skill outside its stated narrow trigger set around content pillars. In an agent router, this can cause unintended invocation of the skill, leading it to load or act on existing strategic files and potentially redirect workflow when the user did not explicitly request pillar-related behavior.
