Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a simple Reddit research checklist with no code, persistence, credential use, or automatic posting behavior.

Before installing, understand that the skill may lead your agent to research Reddit communities and suggest promotional angles. Review subreddit rules yourself before posting, but this artifact does not request account access or perform posts automatically.

A.I.G

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

Confidence
86% confidence
Finding

The phrase 'Use this skill when launching a product via Reddit' gives only a broad situational trigger and does not define specific invocation phrases, boundaries, or exclusion conditions. This ambiguity could cause the skill to be invoked for general Reddit marketing conversations rather than a clearly scoped subreddit-research task.
