Security audit

Tender Knowledge Framework

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is not malicious, but it asks the agent to run recurring internet-learning tasks and persist local knowledge files without clear user control or stop conditions.

Review this skill before installing if you do not want an agent to perform scheduled internet searches or maintain local tender-learning files. Use it in a user-triggered workflow, or require confirmation for each run and for any writes to the memory/tender-learning/ and tender-knowledge-framework/ directories.

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
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The entire skill description and reporting template are written exclusively in Chinese, and there is no statement offering users a language choice or explaining that the skill is intentionally limited to Chinese-speaking or China-specific users. Under the language/locale policy, a skill should not implicitly force a specific language without opt-in or clear justification.

Confidence

Finding

This markdown file contains user-facing instructional content only in Chinese and does not state that the skill is intended exclusively for Chinese-speaking users or a China-specific procurement context. Under the language/locale policy, forcing a single language without user opt-in or justification is a natural-language policy concern.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The template is entirely written in Chinese and the closing note indicates the report is automatically generated by the skill, which implies the skill produces output in a fixed language. Under the policy rules, forcing a specific language without user opt-in or a documented region-specific justification is a natural-language policy violation.

Confidence
82% confidence
Finding

The entire skill file is presented in Chinese and does not mention whether the user can choose another language or locale. Under the policy, forcing a specific language without opt-in can be a natural-language policy concern unless the locale constraint is explicitly documented and justified.

Finding

The file explicitly states that the skill will create or update files under memory/tender-learning/ and tender-knowledge-framework/, which affects local user/project data. The markdown does not include any warning, confirmation note, or disclosure that these files will be written as part of the task.
