Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a clearly disclosed industrial-operations helper with high-impact factory-network capabilities, but its risky actions are described as gated, off by default, and purpose-aligned.

Install only if you intend to use it in a governed factory or lab environment. Treat PLC writes, MQTT publish, EtherCAT state changes, and PROFINET DCP changes as production-impacting operations, and verify approval, dry-run, rollback, credential storage, and network isolation before enabling live access.

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 natural-language content of the skill description, tool listings, workflows, and support matrix is presented in Chinese, which effectively forces a specific language for users reading the skill. The policy allows locale constraints only when users are given a choice or when the constraint is explicitly justified, neither of which is stated here.
