copywriting

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a copywriting guidance skill with no executable code, credential use, network behavior, persistence, or hidden system changes.

Installers should understand this skill may activate for broad marketing-writing prompts such as headlines, but it does not appear to run code, access private data, change files, or persist behavior.

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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The description lists broad activation phrases such as "headline" and pattern-based triggers like "how to write [marketing text]" without clear boundaries or exclusion conditions. These could match ordinary writing assistance requests and cause the skill to activate in situations beyond intended copywriting-specific use.

Autonomous Decision Making

Medium
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding

Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

- Above the fold (so they don't have to scroll to act)
- After explaining value (don't ask before you've sold them)
- Multiple times on long pages (after each value section)
