Security audit

SZZG007 Web Deep Research

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is openly a web research tool, but its customer background-check use case is broad and under-scoped for sensitive business and personal profiling.

Review before installing if you may use it for customer or decision-maker background checks. Limit it to authorized business research, avoid sensitive personal or credit information unless you have a lawful basis, and require explicit user confirmation before broad multi-platform searches.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Missing User Warnings

Finding

The skill advertises full-web research and customer background investigation but does not clearly disclose that it may access external platforms, process personal or company-related data, and aggregate information from multiple sources. In this context, missing notice and consent boundaries is dangerous because users may unknowingly trigger collection, enrichment, or profiling activity involving sensitive personal or reputational data.

Vague Triggers

Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The trigger phrases are broad, everyday expressions such as market research and background-check requests, which can cause the skill to activate unintentionally in normal conversation. Because this skill can initiate wide external research across many platforms and produce potentially sensitive profiling output, accidental invocation increases privacy, data-handling, and unwanted external access risk.
