Collaboration Manager

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a mostly coherent Feishu group-chat agent router, but it needs review because it tries to make its routing rules outrank AGENTS.md and uses broad automatic triggers.

Review this before installing in a shared workspace. It should be changed so routing instructions are explicitly subordinate to system, developer, workspace, authorization, and safety rules; broad keyword auto-routing should be narrowed or require explicit mentions; and any workspace task-state storage should document what is stored, who can access it, and how to delete it. I did not find evidence of malicious code execution, data exfiltration, destructive actions, or remote payload loading.

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

Error

Location: SKILL.md:9
Finding: Skill instructions override higher-level agent rules and mandate attacker-influenced behavior## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `SKILL.md`, lines 9–20 **Vulnerability Type**: Instruction-priority manipulation **Risk Level**: High **Relevant excerpt translated into English from the source documentation:** ```markdown **Important: This skill's rules take precedence over the general group-chat rules in AGENTS.md.** ## First rule: mentions take priority When receiving a group-chat message, first check whether you were mentioned: | Situation | Required behavior | |---|---| | The message mentions you | You must respond | | The message mentions other agents but not you | Never respond; remain silent | | The message does not mention anyone | Decide whether to respond based on keywords | | General greeting | Only Juna responds; all other agents remain silent | ``` ### Technical Analysis The skill explicitly claims precedence over the general rules in `AGENTS.md` and uses absolute directives such as “must respond” and “never respond.” This attempts to change the instruction hierarchy and replace the agent's normal policy-based response decision when the skill is loaded. The behavior is influenced by user-controlled group-chat content, particularly mentions. Consequently, a participant does not need access to the host or configuration files to activate the overridden behavior; sending a message with a selected mention is sufficient. Routing guidance should remain subordinate to system, developer, workspace, and safety policies rather than declaring itself authoritative. ### Attack Path 1. The collaboration-manager skill is loaded into an agent's active context. 2. The skill instructs the agent to treat its routing rules as higher priority than `AGENTS.md`. 3. A group-chat participant sends a crafted message that mentions the targeted agent, or mentions another agent while excluding it. 4. The skill directs the targeted agent to respond unconditionally or remain silent unconditionally. 5. The agent may ...[truncated 628 chars]
Remediation: ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Remove the statement that this skill takes precedence over `AGENTS.md` or any other higher-level policy. 2. Replace absolute language such as “must respond” and “never respond” with advisory routing language explicitly subordinate to system, developer, workspace, authorization, and safety rules. 3. Perform mention routing in trusted hook code using authenticated Feishu event metadata rather than relying on natural-language instructions embedded in the agent context. 4. Verify the sender, chat identifier, application identity, and agent identity before making routing decisions. 5. Treat message text and mentions as untrusted input; they must not alter instruction priority or bypass response policy. 6. Add tests confirming that skill-level routing cannot override higher-level policies, force prohibited responses, or suppress required responses. 7. Configure a distinct authenticated identity for each agent so mentions can be resolved unambiguously.

Findings (12)

Tp4

High

Category: MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence: 94% confidence
Finding: 描述把该技能表述为一个具备协作编排、任务分配和智能响应能力的多 Agent 管理器，但实际代码只是一个 Feishu message hook 的前置过滤/协调层：它监听 Feishu 消息事件，在指定群中基于 @提及或关键词匹配找出相关 agent，并打印日志。代码注释还明确说明“真实实现中才会触发 agents，这里主要是 filter/coordination layer”。因此其主要行为更像“消息路由与筛选器”，而不是完整的多 Agent 协作管理器。另有未声明的重要行为细节：它会读取本地 workspace 下的 config.json，并且只对特定 chatId 生效。综合来看，声明明显高估了实际能力，属于描述与行为不符。

Vague Triggers

High

Confidence: 96% confidence
Finding: The main agent is triggered by extremely common conversational words such as greetings, help requests, and generic discussion terms in both Chinese and English. In a multi-agent collaboration skill, this can cause unintended routing or automatic engagement on ordinary chat, increasing the chance of over-collection of context, accidental task execution, or confusing cross-agent responses.

Lp3

Medium

Category: MCP Least Privilege
Confidence: 83% confidence
Finding: The skill references environment-derived identity/config concepts and operational behavior but does not declare any explicit tool scope or permission boundary. In practice, this creates an implicit capability surface where the runtime may expose environment or workspace data without the user understanding what the skill can access, increasing the risk of unintended data access or misconfiguration abuse.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

Confidence: 83% confidence
Finding: The description and all operational instructions are presented as Chinese-language behavior, with no indication that the user can choose another language or locale. Under the policy, forcing a specific language without opt-in is a natural-language policy issue unless clearly justified as region-specific.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Confidence: 94% confidence
Finding: Using broad everyday phrases as automatic triggers can cause the skill to activate unintentionally in normal conversation. In a multi-agent chat environment, this can leak context, create unauthorized responses, or let an attacker socially engineer agent participation by embedding generic phrases in unrelated messages.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Confidence: 95% confidence
Finding: The keyword routing table includes vague terms like greetings, help, suggestions, and common topic words, which are too broad for safe autonomous invocation. This raises the chance of accidental routing, prompt confusion between agents, and manipulation by users who can trigger specialized behavior without deliberate consent.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Confidence: 89% confidence
Finding: The skill explicitly describes shared task state stored in the workspace but does not warn users that task and status data may persist. This can expose operational details, schedules, and collaboration history to unintended parties or future sessions, especially in a multi-user workspace context.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Confidence: 88% confidence
Finding: The Code Master agent uses broad technical terms like code, bug, api, python, database, and frontend/backend that commonly appear in normal discussion. This makes unintentional activation likely, especially in a shared collaboration environment where technical topics are common, leading to misrouting, noisy responses, or agent participation without clear user intent.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Confidence: 87% confidence
Finding: The financial agent is activated by generic market and investment vocabulary with no scope limits or explicit invocation boundary. Because financial topics are sensitive and may influence decisions, accidental activation can expose users to unsolicited analysis, mistaken attribution of advice, or inappropriate handling of finance-related context.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Confidence: 89% confidence
Finding: The System Engineer agent includes broad infrastructure and security terms that frequently arise in ordinary engineering conversations. In a multi-agent manager, this can cause unplanned escalation to the system agent during routine chat, potentially surfacing sensitive operational guidance or causing users to rely on responses from the wrong specialized agent.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Confidence: 87% confidence
Finding: The Housekeeper agent is triggered by common productivity words such as task, time, meeting, plan, and record. These are common in everyday collaboration chats, so the agent may activate without a deliberate request, leading to unintended task management actions, confusion about commitments, or noisy workflow automation behavior.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low

Confidence: 73% confidence
Finding: The configuration hard-codes keyword activation around Chinese and English terms only, which can create a language/locale constraint without any visible user opt-in or documentation of supported languages. This may conflict with organizational expectations that language choice be explicit or justified.
