Security audit

Geopolitical Monitor

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed geopolitical news and stock-sector report generator that writes local JSON reports, with no evidence of hidden access or unsafe behavior.

Install only if you can review Chinese documentation and are comfortable with a script that writes local report JSON files under ~/shared_memory/geopolitical. The bundled script currently appears to contain escaped arrow/comparison characters that cause a Python syntax error, so it may need maintenance before it runs correctly.

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 README content require Chinese comprehension, but the file does not state that the skill is Chinese-only or offer any language/locale choice. Under the policy, forcing a specific language without user opt-in is a natural-language policy violation unless the locale constraint is clearly documented and justified.
