Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is an offline layoff deadline helper, but it gives high-stakes benefits/legal/financial advice and includes overly broad offboarding data-copy instructions.

Review this skill carefully before installing. Use it only as a checklist aid, verify deadlines against the severance agreement, plan documents, COBRA notice, state unemployment agency, and equity plan, and consult qualified benefits, tax, or employment counsel before acting. Do not use its data-export checklist to copy company emails, customer data, source code, confidential files, or anything your employer policies or agreements do not allow you to retain.

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

Missing User Warnings

Finding

The skill provides specific legal, tax, benefits, and employment-timing guidance in an authoritative tone without a clear disclaimer that rules vary by state, employer plan, federal law, age, and individual circumstances. Because users are likely to act on deadlines involving COBRA, unemployment, 401(k) loans, equity, WARN/ADEA, and severance releases, omissions or overgeneralizations can cause financial loss, forfeited rights, tax penalties, or missed filing windows.

Missing User Warnings

Finding

The guidance encourages users to intentionally delay COBRA election as an 'optimal play' and frames retroactive election as a strategy, but it underemphasizes the real uninsured period before election, the need to timely pay all back premiums, and the risk of provider/pharmacy denials or cash-flow problems before coverage is activated. In a layoff-deadline skill, users are likely to rely on this as actionable benefits advice, so omission of clear warnings can cause harmful financial or medical decision-making.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Finding

The script tells users to make 'personal copies of everything' including contacts, files, and email in the context of termination. Without explicit limits to personal, non-confidential, and employer-authorized materials, this can encourage exfiltration of company data, customer information, privileged communications, or trade secrets during a high-risk offboarding moment.

Finding

The checklist explicitly instructs a 'Personal-data export' of contacts, files, and email before access ends, but provides no authorization, ownership, or privacy safeguards. In practice, this could be interpreted as advice to bulk-copy employer systems content, creating risks of data theft, privacy violations, and post-employment disputes.
