PUA

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill has no executable payload, but it broadly changes agent behavior and retry limits across all task types without clear safety boundaries.

Review this skill carefully before installing. It is not showing code execution or data theft, but it is designed to make the agent persist harder and escalate after failures, so it should only be used when you explicitly want that behavior and can supervise tool use, costs, and side effects.

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

Vague Triggers

High
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The trigger description is extremely broad and includes ordinary frustration phrases, repeated-failure language, and 'all task types,' which makes unintended activation likely across unrelated contexts. Because the skill explicitly aims to override normal behavior with pressure-driven exhaustive action, accidental invocation can materially alter agent conduct, increasing the risk of unsafe persistence, scope creep, and degraded user-aligned behavior.

Vague Triggers

Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The README-style content reinforces always-on escalation behavior without defining exclusions, safety boundaries, or cases where the skill must defer to higher-priority safety rules. In context, a skill built around 'keep going' and pressure escalation is more dangerous than a normal productivity aid because ambiguous activation could push the agent to ignore sensible stopping conditions or continue beyond intended scope.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
83% confidence
Finding

The listed variants include '/pua:pua-ja (Japanese)' and multilingual trigger phrases elsewhere, but the file does not state that language switching occurs only with explicit user choice. That creates a risk of forcing a specific language or locale behavior without opt-in, which conflicts with the language/locale policy requirement.
