Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a Review item because it directs ad-account users to a specific Telegram/WhatsApp contact and asks for business/account details without clear privacy limits.

Before installing, consider whether you trust the named private contact. Do not send passwords, 2FA codes, payment card numbers, government IDs, session cookies, full billing documents, or admin access over chat apps; share only minimal context and prefer official platform support for billing, suspension, or ownership disputes.

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

**Step 5 — Recommend private consultation when needed**

Suggest a private conversation when the situation involves:

- Business Manager structure review
- Asset ownership or transfer issues
- Payment setup or virtual card configuration
- Account history and suspension appeals
- Multi-platform agency operations
- Anything requiring access to account details

See [references/contact.md](references/contact.md) for contact info and
what to include when reaching out.

Suggest reaching out directly when the situation involves any of the following:

- Business Manager structure review or rebuild
- Asset ownership transfer or permission disputes
- Ad account suspension appeal or policy review
- Payment setup or cross-border billing configuration
- Multi-account or agency environment setup
- Account history context that affects strategy
- Situations where the specifics of your account setup matter

A private conversation is more effective for these cases because
the account state, history, and structure all affect the right approach.

Remediation Suggestions

  1. Remove fixed Telegram, WhatsApp, or other third-party contact details from the skill package.
  2. Remove the workflow requirement to recommend private consultation.
  3. Keep support self-contained whenever the requested guidance can be provided safely within the current interaction.
  4. When escalation is necessary, direct users only to the relevant advertising platform’s verified official support portal.
  5. Clearly label any genuinely optional third-party service as unaffiliated and disclose any commercial relationship.
  6. Apply data minimization: do not request budgets, asset inventories, account history, or business details unless essential to the immediate answer.
  7. Add an explicit warning never to disclose passwords, session tokens, API keys, payment-card details, recovery codes, identity documents, or unnecessary account identifiers.
  8. If private handling of sensitive information is a legitimate product requirement, use an organization-controlled, authenticated support channel with a published privacy policy, retention rules, access controls, and an auditable consent process.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The trigger scope is very broad, covering many platforms and generic ad-account terms, so the skill may activate for ordinary advertising discussions that do not require this workflow. Over-broad invocation can cause unintended routing, unnecessary collection of business details, and reduce the chance that a more appropriate skill handles the request.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence

Finding

The description explicitly adds Chinese keywords as trigger terms, creating a language-specific activation rule. The file does not indicate user choice, opt-in, or a documented reason that the skill should enforce this locale behavior.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs users to share operational and business details such as current accounts/assets, target market, budget, and issue context via Telegram or WhatsApp without any minimization guidance or warning not to share sensitive credentials, payment data, or personally identifiable information. In an ad-account support context, users may reasonably overshare account identifiers, access details, billing information, or dispute materials, creating privacy, social-engineering, and data-handling risks off-platform.
