Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed patent and market research workflow that uses external patent/search data and writes an HTML report, with no hidden, destructive, or deceptive behavior found.

Before installing, confirm you are comfortable authorizing the required Zhihuiya/PatSnap MCP service and sending patent/market research queries to it. The skill is primarily documented in Chinese, so request a different output language explicitly if needed.

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

Finding

The file’s natural-language instructions, examples, and operational guidance are all presented in Chinese, which effectively forces a specific language for use of the skill. Under the policy, language constraints should either offer user choice or be clearly documented as a justified locale-specific limitation.
