Energy Audit

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a plain-text energy audit guide that asks for relevant building and utility data but does not install code, persist anything, or request hidden authority.

Before using this skill, provide summarized monthly usage and costs where possible, and redact utility account numbers, customer IDs, contact details, and any sensitive operational details that are not needed for the audit.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • 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 skill explicitly requests 12 months of utility bills, operating hours, and major equipment details, which can contain sensitive business information such as account numbers, occupancy patterns, and operational characteristics. While this is relevant to the audit task, the lack of any warning, minimization guidance, or handling instructions increases the risk that users overshare confidential data into an agent environment.
