Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a markdown-only LinkedIn writing helper with no code execution or persistence, though its activation wording is broader than ideal.

Install this only if you want a Marcus-specific LinkedIn writing style to be available. Because the trigger wording is broad, users should invoke it explicitly for Marcus's LinkedIn posts and review outputs before posting publicly.

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

Finding

The skill’s trigger conditions are broad enough to activate on common writing or content-creation requests, including generic phrases like 'write a post' and wide topical categories. This can cause inappropriate routing to a highly opinionated identity-specific writing engine, leading to misfires, incorrect persona use, and unintended disclosure or use of embedded business context when the user did not ask for this skill.
