Paper Ingest Normalizer

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill only defines a structured workflow for turning papers or PDFs into research records, with no hidden code or unsafe installation behavior found.

Before installing, understand that this skill may activate for paper-reading or PDF-ingestion requests and may prepare records intended for project memory. Use it when you want structured literature records, and check writeback payloads before saving them to shared or persistent project memory.

A.I.G

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

Finding

The skill advertises broad natural-language triggers such as 'read this paper' and 'ingest this PDF', which are common phrases that may appear in many unrelated user requests. This can cause accidental or overly eager invocation of the skill, leading to unintended processing of URLs, PDFs, or writeback-oriented normalization flows when the user did not explicitly request this specific capability.
