Social Science Journal Abstract Polisher

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a narrow academic writing prompt for polishing user-provided social science abstracts, with no evidence of hidden access, code execution, persistence, or data misuse.

Before installing, note that this skill is intended for English-language social science abstracts and may not fit other languages or disciplines without adaptation. Do not rely on it to verify factual accuracy or journal-specific rules unless you provide the relevant requirements.

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
  • 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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Finding

Line L18 states the skill operates specifically when a user provides an English abstract, which imposes a language constraint in the natural-language instructions. The file does not offer an opt-in choice or explain why English is required, so this appears to be a locale/language policy issue under the stated rule.
