Security audit

Prospect Research Repo

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a plain research prompt for preparing company/prospect briefs, with no executable code, persistence, or hidden installation behavior.

Install only if you want an agent to prepare prospect or pre-call research briefs using web and available enrichment sources. Be mindful that enrichment tools may involve third-party business/contact data, so use it for legitimate outreach or meeting preparation and verify important claims before relying on them.

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

Confidence

Finding

The skill description uses very broad phrases like "tell me about [company]" and "any request for intel before a meeting," which can overlap with ordinary conversation and many unrelated research tasks. In an agent environment, this increases the chance of unintended invocation, causing the wrong skill to run, unnecessary data collection, or unexpected use of external enrichment tools.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category

Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The example triggers include generic requests such as "What do I need to know about this company?" and "Tell me about [company] before I reach out," which are common user utterances outside a deliberate prospecting workflow. This broad matching surface can lead to accidental routing to this skill, producing over-collection of intelligence or inappropriate use of research/enrichment tools when a simpler answer was intended.
