Security audit

Underused Patent Portfolio Activation

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed patent-portfolio review workflow that uses patent data, authorized internal evidence, and report generation with clear approval gates.

Install only for patent or intangible-asset work where you are comfortable giving the agent access to the relevant portfolio, internal business records, and approved patent-data connectors. Confirm the audience and confidentiality level before generating external reports, and require human legal, finance, tax, valuation, regulatory, and business approval before any outreach or irreversible decision.

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

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
81% confidence
Finding

The instruction to use specific English phrases and avoid others sets a fixed language convention in natural-language guidance. Because the file does not indicate user opt-in or offer an alternative locale/language choice, it can be read as forcing a specific language style.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding

The instruction 'Use an international Swiss/scientific executive style' imposes a particular presentation convention as a requirement. Under the policy rule for language/locale-style constraints, this is a natural-language directive that does not explicitly offer user opt-in or an alternative style choice.
