Security audit

Employee Offboarding Manager

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a plain checklist-generation prompt for employee offboarding and does not contain code, tool calls, credential use, persistence, or hidden behavior.

Installers should treat this as a planning aid, not an automated HR or IT control. Review generated checklists before acting on them, especially around payroll, legal obligations, and access revocation.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category

Confidence

Finding

The invocation guidance is broad enough that ordinary user phrasing about an employee leaving could activate the skill without a clearly bounded command format. In multi-skill or agentic environments, this can cause unintended triggering, causing the model to apply offboarding behavior in the wrong context or to over-assume sensitive HR/security actions from casual text.

Vague Triggers

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
82% confidence
Finding

The example trigger phrase is short, natural-language, and highly reusable, which reinforces a generic activation pattern rather than a constrained command. That increases the chance of accidental invocation from quoted text, examples, or unrelated planning conversations involving employee departures and access details.
