Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward paper-to-slide assistant with minor scoping caveats but no evidence of hidden, destructive, or credential-seeking behavior.

Install is reasonable for users who want help turning scientific papers into slide decks. Be aware that generic presentation requests may invoke this skill unnecessarily, and only use the optional PPTX export command if you trust the local script it references.

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

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The trigger conditions are broad enough to match many generic requests about making slides or presentations, which can cause the skill to activate outside its intended narrow use case of converting a scientific paper into a presentation. Over-broad activation is dangerous because it can route unrelated user tasks into a specialized workflow, leading to incorrect handling, unintended file/tool use, or bypass of more appropriate skills.
