Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a disclosed patent design-around workflow using PatSnap patent research connectors, with no executable code, persistence, or hidden authority observed.

Install only if you are comfortable using PatSnap patent connectors for this workflow. Treat outputs as preliminary screening, not legal advice, and avoid providing confidential product or patent strategy information to external connectors unless your organization permits it.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • 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

Finding

The instruction 'Use the English interface and English output' imposes a specific language choice as a hard requirement. Under the locale policy, this is a natural-language policy violation unless the skill offers user choice or clearly justifies the restriction as necessary for a region-specific or compliance-bound workflow.
