Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed shopping price-comparison helper that uses the user's logged-in browser session but does not show hidden, destructive, persistent, or exfiltrating behavior.

Install only if you are comfortable letting the agent use your logged-in Taobao, JD, or Pinduoduo browser session to read shopping search results and member prices. Use it deliberately for price comparisons, and verify final prices directly on the merchant site before buying.

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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The trigger phrases are broad and match very common shopping-related requests, making accidental invocation likely in ordinary conversations about products or pricing. Because this skill uses browser access and inherits logged-in e-commerce sessions, unintended activation could cause the agent to browse authenticated shopping pages and collect account-contextual pricing data without the user explicitly choosing this skill.

Scope Creep

Low
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding

Skill's behavior or capabilities extend beyond its stated purpose. Scope creep allows an agent to perform actions unrelated to its documented functionality, increasing the attack surface.
