Business Automation Strategy

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a business automation planning guide with templates and safety practices, not code that executes actions or accesses data by itself.

Installers should treat this as a planning framework. For any automation involving money, customer communications, legal/compliance, HR, security, credentials, or production data, keep explicit human approval, sandbox testing, rollback, logging, and least-privilege access in place.

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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The quick-start phrases are generic operational requests such as auditing processes or recommending a platform, which could be triggered by normal user conversation rather than an explicitly scoped skill invocation. In an agent environment that auto-loads or prioritizes skills based on natural-language matching, this can cause unintended activation and influence the agent's behavior without clear user intent.

Autonomous Decision Making

Medium
Category
Excessive Agency
Content
10. Backup and archival

**Automate LAST** (complex, high risk):
1. Anything involving money transfers without approval
2. Customer-facing responses without review
3. Legal/compliance decisions
4. Hiring/firing workflows
Confidence
75% 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.
