Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple API-development guidance skill with no executable code, install actions, credential access, persistence, or hidden high-impact behavior.

Before installing, be aware that the skill is written for Chinese-language API development assistance. It appears safe from a security standpoint, but non-Chinese users may want the publisher to clarify language behavior or add an instruction to respond in the user's preferred language.

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

The entire skill definition is written in Chinese and presents the role, workflow, and interaction style only in that language, 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.
