Executive Report Style Guide and Status Report Formatter

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a small reporting-style guidance skill with no executable code, credential use, private-file access, or hidden persistence.

This skill appears safe to install for executive-report formatting help. Users should be aware that its activation language is broad, so clearer trigger wording would reduce accidental use, but the artifact does not request credentials, private files, network access, code execution, or persistent system changes.

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 instruction to use the skill for "routine executive reporting work" is broad and does not define when the skill should or should not be invoked. The file also describes two operations but does not provide specific trigger phrases, scope constraints, or negative examples to prevent unintended activation.
