UI Design Tips

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a UI/UX advice skill made of markdown guidance and CSS examples, with no executable code, persistence, credential handling, or hidden data access.

Install this as a UI/UX reference skill if you want opinionated design suggestions. Review its recommendations for your audience and locale, especially RTL layouts and font choices, because it contains strong defaults that may not fit every product.

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

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The skill description is extremely broad and includes many generic review/improvement triggers such as 'any UI element' and 'answer questions about UI/UX best practices.' In an agent routing system, this can cause unintended activation on loosely related prompts, leading the skill to influence outputs outside its intended scope and potentially override more appropriate skills or system behavior.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Category

Confidence
78% confidence
Finding

The instruction "Left-align for LTR readability (not centered)" assumes a left-to-right locale as a default design rule. Because the file does not offer a locale or language-direction choice, this can conflict with policy requiring language/locale flexibility for users in RTL contexts.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
78% confidence
Finding

This markdown file contains natural-language guidance that assigns fixed typography selections to specific languages. Because the policy forbids forcing a specific language or locale without user opt-in or clear justification, these lines can be read as prescriptive locale-specific defaults rather than optional choices.
