Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a legitimate document-to-Markdown helper, but it may send office documents to an external cloud service in situations where the user only asked to read or summarize them.

Install only if you are comfortable sending selected DOCX, PPTX, XLS, or XLSX files or document URLs to MinerU's cloud API. Avoid using it for confidential, regulated, or enterprise documents unless your organization approves that external processing, and prefer confirming each upload before conversion.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • 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

Finding

The skill's activation guidance is broad enough to match generic requests to read, extract, summarize, or analyze office documents, which can cause the agent to invoke this skill in situations where users may not expect cloud processing. Because the skill supports direct URL input and explicitly uploads documents to a third-party service without authentication, over-triggering increases the chance of unintended data disclosure or use on sensitive files.
