Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a scoped public-patent research and report-generation workflow with strong safeguards and no evidence of hidden persistence, exfiltration, or destructive behavior.

Install only for authorized IP/R&D or legal review workflows. Users should confirm privacy, employment, works-council, access, retention, and jurisdiction requirements before person-level monitoring, and should treat the output as public-record triage for qualified human review only.

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
  • MCP Least PrivilegeUnderdeclared Capability, Wildcard Permission, Missing Permission Declaration
  • MCP Tool PoisoningHidden Instructions, Unicode Deception, Parameter Description Injection
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access

Undeclared Tool Scope

Medium
Category
MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
86% confidence
Finding

The skill advertises operational steps that can involve live MCP searches, reading workflow/data files, and generating an HTML report, but it does not declare an explicit tool permission boundary such as allowed tools or permissions. In an agent runtime, this can lead to overbroad access to network, filesystem, or environment capabilities beyond what the skill actually needs, increasing the blast radius if the skill is misused, modified, or combined with prompt injection elsewhere.

Finding

The generated document sets <html lang="en">, which forces an English-language locale in output. Under the policy rule, locale constraints should offer user choice or be clearly documented as justified; this file does not provide either.
