Security audit
AI Agent Talent Acquisition
Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk
Overview
This skill is a static hiring playbook with promotional links and no executable behavior, persistence, credential handling, or hidden agent instructions.
Review the hiring and compensation recommendations as general business guidance, especially because employment practices and pay-market data can be jurisdiction- and time-sensitive. From a security perspective, the skill is low risk because it is static Markdown and does not ask the agent to run commands, access private data, or change system state.
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
- 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
- Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
