Security audit

Translator Pro

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a small bilingual translation helper with no evidence of hidden execution, data theft, privilege escalation, or destructive behavior.

Before installing, be aware that the skill is oriented toward bilingual Chinese/English translation examples and creates a local application data folder when its script runs. No sensitive access or dangerous behavior was found.

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

Findings (3)

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Confidence
86% confidence
Finding
The file repeatedly frames the skill around Chinese/English bilingual operation and provides example invocations specifically targeting Chinese output, but it does not state that language selection is optional or user-driven. This can violate language/locale policy expectations when a skill appears to steer users toward a specific language without explicit opt-in.

Whitespace Padding

Confidence
80% confidence
Finding
Large whitespace padding was detected (a block of blank lines or a long run of spaces). This can push injected instructions below or to the right of the visible area so a human reviewer never sees them while the agent still reads them. Manual review of the hidden content is recommended.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Confidence
77% confidence
Finding
The dictionary command hard-codes multilingual output including Chinese text in a fixed format, which reflects a language behavior choice without any user opt-in or configurability. Under the policy, forcing a specific language or locale can be a natural-language policy issue when no alternative or user choice is provided.
