Tmux Remote

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward tmux helper, but users should be careful because it can control live terminal panes and read their output.

Install only if you intend to let the agent operate tmux. Use dedicated session names, verify the target pane before sending keys or killing panes, and avoid capturing panes that may contain secrets, credentials, or private terminal history.

A.I.G

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

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The skill explicitly advertises remote control of tmux sessions by sending keystrokes and scraping pane output, but provides no warning about the risk of interacting with already-authenticated shells or exposing sensitive terminal content. In practice, this can lead to accidental command execution, credential disclosure, or capture of secrets from other panes or sessions if an agent uses it without strong targeting and user awareness.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding
Documenting tmux kill-pane without any caution can cause loss of in-progress work or termination of interactive processes in the targeted pane. While this is not inherently malicious, an automation-oriented skill increases the chance of accidental destructive actions if operators do not understand that the command is irreversible for the pane's running process.
