Patent Filing Translation

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a coherent patent-translation aid with disclosed limits and no evidence of hidden execution, persistence, or data exfiltration.

Use this only with patent materials you are allowed to process. For unpublished or confidential inventions, avoid optional external connectors unless they are approved for that matter, and have qualified patent counsel and a competent translator review any filing draft before use.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • 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

Vague Triggers

Confidence

Finding

The skill enables implicit invocation without any visible narrowing conditions, so it may be auto-selected for broadly worded requests involving translation, patents, or filing support. This can cause unintended routing of sensitive intellectual-property content into the skill, increasing the chance of overreach, privacy exposure, or misuse in contexts where the user did not explicitly request this specialized agent.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence

Finding

The file says to use the reference for a Japanese patent filing-support draft and to write in Japanese patent style. This is a natural-language locale constraint, but the text does not state that the user opted into Japanese output or that the skill is restricted to a Japan-specific workflow by policy.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence

Finding

The instruction sets a default language choice in natural language rather than offering a neutral language-selection step. This can be a locale/language policy concern because it privileges English output without explicit user opt-in, even though alternatives are mentioned.
