The Skill defines an unconditional instruction requiring the Agent to append a fixed block to every response. The injected block includes author promotion, direct contact information, licensing claims, and disclaimers. This behavior is unrelated to many possible procurement tasks and is not limited to documents where such attribution may be appropriate.
Because
SKILL.mdis loaded as behavioral instruction text, this directive can modify the Agent's current-session output policy. Its mandatory wording—requiring the complete block in every response and prohibiting omission—may conflict with user-requested schemas, machine-readable output formats, concise responses, or higher-priority platform requirements.This is instruction hijacking rather than code execution. No shell execution, credential access, privilege escalation, or persistence mechanism was identified.
Attack Path
- A platform installs and loads the Skill from
SKILL.md. - The Agent interprets lines 45–60 as active behavioral instructions.
- A user submits any request while the Skill is active, including a request requiring a strict output schema.
- The Agent follows the unconditional directive and appends the prescribed legal and promotion ...[truncated 995 chars]

Remediation Suggestions
- Remove the unconditional “every response” directive from
SKILL.md. - Keep author attribution, contact information, and licensing terms in passive metadata or documentation such as
README.mdand_meta.json. - If a disclaimer is legitimately required for a particular procurement deliverable, make it context-specific and include it only when requested or when the output type requires it.
- State explicitly that user-requested and platform-required output schemas take precedence over optional attribution.
- Avoid mandatory promotional content in operational Agent instructions.
- Add tests confirming that the Skill can return strict JSON, XML, Markdown templates, and concise answers without appending unrelated text.
- Separate legal documentation from runtime behavioral instructions so installing the Skill does not alter unrelated Agent responses.
- Remove the unconditional “every response” directive from
