Security audit

Generate ASCII Art

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a simple ASCII-art helper with messy trigger text, but the inspected artifact does not show hidden, destructive, or sensitive behavior.

Install only if you are comfortable with a low-risk but messy ASCII-art skill. Review or remove the broad trigger phrases and confirm that any local capability_executor.py, MetaClaw, or SEAL components it calls are trusted in your environment.

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
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The trigger phrases in this section are broad, generic ASCII-related help terms rather than narrowly scoped invocation phrases for a single skill. This can cause the skill to activate unexpectedly for unrelated user requests about ASCII, increasing the chance of incorrect tool execution, prompt hijacking through unintended routing, or interference with other skills.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

This merged section introduces ambiguous triggers including an internal-looking generated identifier and a generic help request pattern. Such triggers can match conversational text that is not intended to invoke the skill, creating accidental activation paths and making routing behavior unpredictable in a multi-skill environment.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The trigger set here includes a vague numeric token ("59") and another broad help-style trigger. Numeric or highly generic tokens are especially risky because they are likely to appear in unrelated conversations, causing accidental invocation of this skill and potential misrouting of user intent.
