Security audit

Pentest Auth Bypass

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is framed as live authentication security testing, but the bundled script mainly emits a fixed high-severity finding and placeholder artifacts without performing the claimed tests.

Review this skill carefully before installing. It does not appear to perform the advertised authentication testing, and its generated findings should not be treated as verified vulnerabilities. Avoid providing secrets, cookies, tokens, or real session data as input unless the artifact-writing behavior is changed or redacted.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • 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

Finding

The declared description suggests an active security testing skill for authentication and session management weaknesses. However, this code chunk only checks scope and an authorization confirmation flag, loads a payload, constructs a static finding, and writes placeholder output files. There is no network interaction with the target, no login/session handling logic, no token/cookie manipulation, no brute-force attempts, and no account takeover simulation. Its primary behavior is report scaffolding, not auth testing, so the description materially overstates what the code actually does.
