Abductive Reasoning

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a plain reasoning template with no code execution, persistence, credential access, or hidden data handling.

This is safe to install as a thinking aid, but treat it as a hypothesis-generation framework rather than medical, legal, financial, or investigative expertise; ask for domain-specific safeguards when stakes are high.

A.I.G

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

Finding

The activation description is broad enough to match many ordinary requests involving symptoms, clues, data, debugging, or diagnosis-like reasoning. This can cause the skill to trigger outside its intended niche, leading to overuse of a heavyweight reasoning framework, possible interference with more appropriate domain-specific skills, and unexpected handling of sensitive topics such as medical or investigative advice.

Finding

The instruction to apply the framework to 'whatever the user is currently working on or asking about' lacks constraints and effectively encourages universal applicability. In a multi-skill agent, this increases the chance of inappropriate activation and context capture, especially for sensitive or specialized topics where abductive reasoning alone may produce speculative conclusions presented with undue structure or confidence.
