1688 Sourcing Assistant

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward 1688 sourcing guidance skill with no code execution, persistence, or hidden data access.

Safe to install for sourcing and listing support. Treat its currency conversions and supplier checks as guidance, verify live rates and supplier claims yourself, and specify language or platform preferences when you want different output.

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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The trigger list contains several broad, common phrases such as 'find supplier', 'sourcing', and 'product research' that could match ordinary user requests and cause the skill to activate unintentionally. In a commerce-oriented skill, unintended activation can misroute conversations, override better-matched skills, and lead to irrelevant or premature supplier/search guidance, though it does not by itself create direct code-execution or data-exfiltration risk.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The document mandates supplier messages and listing captions in specific languages, including "in English" and "in Chinese," without stating that the user can choose their preferred language. This creates a language-policy issue because the skill imposes locale behavior rather than offering an explicit option.
