Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This sales research skill is not malicious, but it should be reviewed because it directs agents to find and infer individual contact details with broad activation and limited user confirmation.

Review this skill before installing if your environment has privacy, compliance, or outreach rules. It should be used only for user-directed B2B account research, with explicit approval before collecting or inferring individual emails or contact channels, and with shell/file operations constrained to generated report artifacts.

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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • 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

Missing User Warnings

High
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The skill description and activation criteria do not warn users that it will collect, infer, and surface personal contact information for identifiable individuals. This lack of transparency is dangerous because users may unintentionally trigger a workflow that performs people-search, contact enrichment, and targeting operations with significant privacy and compliance implications.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The trigger phrases are broad enough to activate on ordinary sales-related conversation, causing the skill to begin aggressive collection and analysis without strong user confirmation. In this skill's context, overbroad activation is more dangerous because the workflow proceeds into organization mining and contact-detail gathering, potentially exposing personal data when the user did not clearly request that level of profiling.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The skill metadata, triggers, examples, and operating instructions are entirely written for Chinese-language interaction, and line L023 directs immediate action without any indication that other user languages are supported. This creates a language-policy concern because the skill implicitly constrains interaction to a specific language without user opt-in or a documented regional justification.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill explicitly instructs the agent to discover individual email addresses and infer corporate email patterns for named people. That goes beyond high-level org mapping into targeted contact enrichment of personal data, which materially increases privacy, harassment, and unauthorized outreach risk when combined with role analysis and outreach recommendations.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The skill declares use of bash/file operations even though its stated purpose is sales research and visualization. Unnecessary shell capability expands the attack surface because adversarial content or future prompt changes could steer the agent into unintended local file access, command execution, or unsafe artifact handling.
