Fact Check

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This fact-checking skill is a plain Markdown workflow for verifying claims and does not add code, persistence, or privileged access.

Before installing, understand that this skill may activate for broad verification-style requests and may lead the agent to perform web or source research. Use it for concrete factual claims, and treat specialist areas such as legal, medical, financial, or safety-critical questions as requiring domain-specific care beyond generic fact-checking.

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

Finding

The skill description is triggered by very broad phrases like 'verify,' 'confirm,' 'validate,' and 'check the accuracy,' which can overlap with many ordinary user requests outside a narrowly scoped fact-checking context. This can cause over-invocation, route sensitive or specialized requests into a generic verification workflow, and increase the chance the agent performs unintended web lookups or presents weakly grounded conclusions as authoritative.
