Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed Chinese-language workflow for chemical target discovery that uses expected PatSnap/Zhihuiya MCP tools and does not include hidden code, persistence, or destructive behavior.

Install only if you are comfortable using the referenced PatSnap/Zhihuiya MCP services for chemical and patent analysis. Treat proprietary compound libraries and SMILES as sensitive business data, confirm your account authorization and data-handling expectations, and verify generated target, FTO, and SAR conclusions against cited sources before making research or legal decisions.

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 manifest description and the full skill instructions are presented in Chinese, and the skill name includes a _zh convention, but there is no explicit statement that the user can choose another language or that Chinese is a documented requirement. This creates a natural-language policy concern because the skill effectively forces a specific language without opt-in.
