Security audit

Amazon Ads Optimizer

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a coherent Amazon advertising analysis helper that relies on user-provided data and does not connect to external accounts or persist data.

Install this if you are comfortable using a Chinese-language Amazon Ads advisory skill and providing your own advertising metrics manually. Review any bid, budget, or pause recommendations before applying them in Amazon Ads, because the skill provides analysis only and does not execute changes for you.

Vulnerability Patterns

  • 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

Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The README presents the skill entirely in Chinese, including its title, positioning, inputs, and usage guidance, with no indication that users may choose another language or locale. Under the policy, forcing a specific language without user opt-in is a natural-language policy violation.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

Not specified by scanner
Confidence
85% confidence
Finding

The skill title and all operating instructions are presented in Chinese, and the document does not offer an opt-in choice for language or explain that the skill is intentionally limited to Chinese-speaking users or a China-specific compliance context. Under the language/locale policy, a skill should not implicitly force a language without user choice or clear justification.

Confidence

Finding

This code emits the main human-readable report entirely in Chinese, including headings, labels, and status text. That creates a language/locale policy issue because the skill forces a specific language for output without user opt-in or a documented justification that it is region-specific.

Finding

The description at L03 is entirely in Chinese and does not indicate that the skill supports other languages or that Chinese is an intentional region-specific requirement. Under the policy for natural-language violations, this can be a locale/language constraint imposed without user opt-in or justification.
