Perfect Handoff

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a coherent project handoff helper with a local read-only checker and explicit limits.

Install this only if you want an agent to review project documentation and write or update a compact handoff file. It can read relevant project files and edit documentation when you authorize closeout, so invoke it at a project root you trust and review the produced handoff before relying on it in a fresh session.

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
  • MCP Tool PoisoningHidden Instructions, Unicode Deception, Parameter Description Injection
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access

Finding

The declared purpose says the skill should produce a project handoff and ready-to-paste prompt for a fresh session. The supplied code does not generate any handoff content. Instead, it reads a specified handoff file and project root, parses markdown headings, enforces required sections, checks size limits and placeholders, verifies prompt/path inclusion, and validates local link existence. This is a materially different primary purpose: validation of an already-written handoff, not reconciliation or authoring. No suspicious extra capability beyond local filesystem reads is present, but the core behavior does not match the declared description.
