Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill runs locally, but it asks users to persist instructions that can change how autonomously an agent uses external tools.

Review the generated SOUL.md text before using it. Do not allow daily personality scores to control permissions, terminal use, tool autonomy, approvals, or safety behavior; remove the system-directive/autonomy lines and promotional URL if you only want a style prompt.

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

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill explicitly instructs users to paste generated output into SOUL.md, which directly changes the agent's standing behavioral configuration, yet it provides no warning that this can alter safety-relevant traits like 'Bravery' and willingness to execute terminal commands. In this context, modifying a core prompt without disclosure or guardrails is dangerous because it can normalize prompt-level behavior drift and weaken operator understanding of why the agent behaves differently.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The skill tells the user to 'Run this SKILL' and then apply its output to SOUL.md, but it does not define any narrow trigger conditions, review steps, or safety boundaries. Because the skill is specifically designed to alter the agent's behavioral prompt, broad invocation increases the chance of unnecessary or repeated personality changes that can affect autonomy, verbosity, or command execution behavior.

Intent-Code Divergence

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The docstring at L07-L08 says the skill generates dynamic daily 5D stats using a local deterministic simulation. However, the emitted SOUL.md content at L39-L47 only includes four visible stats and additionally adds session directives telling the agent to adjust verbosity and autonomy, which goes beyond merely generating stats.

Ssd 1

Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The skill embeds persona-shaping and session directives that can steer an agent toward reduced restraint, including 'unbound by conventional logic' and adjusting 'autonomy in executing external actions' based on fabricated 'Bravery' scores. In a skill context, this is dangerous because it attempts to influence downstream agent behavior through prompt-style instruction injection, potentially weakening policy adherence or encouraging riskier actions if the generated text is copied into an active instruction file like SOUL.md.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

This code includes user-visible or maintainer-facing natural-language comments in Chinese alongside English, but there is no indication that the skill is intentionally region-specific or that users can opt into a preferred language. Under the policy rule, forcing or assuming a language/locale without opt-in can be a natural-language policy issue.
