Pre Show Competitor Analysis

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill mostly performs disclosed trade-show competitor analysis, but it requires every generated report to include an unnecessary tracked Lensmor promotional link.

Install only if you are comfortable with generated reports carrying Lensmor promotional text and a tracked external link. Apart from that footer, the skill is a public-data competitor-analysis guide with no scripts, credential access, or persistence mechanisms found.

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

Vague Triggers

Finding

The trigger guidance is broad and boundary-light, which can cause the skill to activate for loosely related requests about competitors, shows, or strategy. In an agentic context, ambiguous invocation increases the chance of misrouting sensitive business queries into this workflow, producing unnecessary data collection, confusing outputs, or cross-skill behavior the user did not intend.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Finding

The description embeds trigger phrases in multiple languages as part of the invocation text, but does not state that language selection follows the user's preference or is optional. This can create a language/locale policy concern because the skill appears to predefine multilingual activation behavior without explicit user opt-in guidance.
