Web Search Digest

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward web research digest helper with disclosed search, fetch, and optional user-requested file output behavior.

Before installing, understand that using this skill will send your research topic to web search/fetch tools and may create a markdown digest file in the workspace if you request file output. Confirm the topic and desired filename behavior when overwrites would matter.

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

This markdown file describes a file-write behavior: when requested, the skill will write digest-{slug}.md in the workspace. While conditional on user request, the description does not include any explicit warning or note that this action modifies workspace files, which is the kind of user-impacting behavior SQP-2 covers for markdown files.
