Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a coherent offline used-car screening helper with no evidence of hidden access, persistence, network use, or unsafe behavior.

Install if you want an offline helper for screening used-car listings. Treat its pricing and risk outputs as rough guidance, and still use a vehicle-history report, title check, and professional inspection before purchase or deposit.

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

Skill instructs the agent to omit warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Stripping safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

[ ] Quiet cabin at 80 — wind noise = panel alignment history

AFTER DRIVE (5 min)
[ ] Let it idle: no smoke, temp stable, no warning lights
[ ] Check under car again: new drops after the drive
[ ] A/C cold; heat hot; all windows, locks, wipers, signals
[ ] OBD-II scan if you brought a $20 reader — pending codes tell stories
