Security audit

Obsidian Read

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a simple helper for reading user-provided Obsidian Publish links and does not show hidden or unsafe behavior.

Install this if you are comfortable with a skill that fetches and extracts text from Obsidian Publish links you provide. Be aware that the instructions are only in Chinese, so non-Chinese-speaking users may find the behavior harder to review.

A.I.G

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

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 92% confidence
Finding: The natural-language instructions, workflow, notes, and example are entirely in Chinese, which effectively forces a specific language for users and maintainers. The file does not indicate that the skill is region-specific or provide any opt-in or alternative language, so this appears to violate the language/locale policy criterion.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.
