Security audit

UI Designer

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This UI design skill is a straightforward markdown-only design helper with no hidden execution, persistence, credential use, or unrelated authority.

Install this if you want an agent to apply opinionated UI design-system, component, and accessibility guidance. Review outputs as you would any generated frontend code, especially accessibility claims and copied CSS tokens, but the artifact does not show security-sensitive behavior.

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

Vague Triggers

Confidence

Finding

The README presents activation phrases like "design a login page," "build a settings form," and "create a card component," then says to "Ask in natural language," but it does not define boundaries for when the skill should or should not activate. These common design-related requests could overlap with ordinary conversation and there are no negative examples or contextual constraints to prevent unintended invocation.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category

Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The trigger description is broad enough to capture many generic frontend, styling, and accessibility requests, which can cause the skill to activate outside its intended scope. Over-broad routing increases the chance that a specialized skill influences unrelated tasks, leading to inappropriate behavior, reduced least-privilege boundaries, and possible prompt-surface expansion if downstream references or instructions are automatically pulled in.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence

Finding

The workflow step uses Chinese text ('Document交付') inside an otherwise English skill document. This introduces a language-specific constraint without user opt-in or explanation, which can conflict with organizational language/locale policy expectations.
