Security audit

English-French Dictionary

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple English-French dictionary skill with no executable code, network access, persistence, or sensitive data handling.

This skill appears safe to install for English-French reference tasks. Users should expect it to activate for a range of French translation, grammar, conjugation, and pronunciation questions; tighter trigger wording would reduce unnecessary activation but is not required for security.

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 description is broadly worded enough to match many generic translation or language-learning requests, which can cause the agent to invoke this skill more often than intended. Over-broad routing increases the chance of unnecessary tool use, response hijacking by lower-quality skill content, or accidental precedence over more specialized skills.
