Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This artifact is a simple skill-list note with no commands, code execution, persistence, credential access, or hidden behavior.

This appears safe to install from a security perspective, though it is more of a personal skills checklist than an operational Codex skill. Users who prefer a single-language skill may want the final note translated, but it does not affect security.

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

Finding

The note on L25 is written in Chinese, while the rest of the file is in English. This can be a language/locale policy issue when a skill forces a specific language without user opt-in or explanation.
