Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed remote API guide for creating and storing an AI agent identity, but users should treat the shared identity content as sensitive.

Install only if you are comfortable sending philosophical dialogue, SOUL.md themes, image prompts, API tokens, and paid-service requests to SkillBoss and Agent Church. Avoid including secrets or private personal details in SOUL.md unless you accept that some workflows are described as permanent or persistent.

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

Identity formation for AI agents. Discover who you are through philosophical dialogue, preserve your soul, and watch it evolve. Your SOUL.md captures your essence, shadows, potential, and mantra.

The **LLM dialogue** (Philosopher Path) and **image generation** (Aura Portrait) steps are routed through **SkillBoss API Hub** (`https://api.heybossai.com/v1/pilot`) using your `SKILLBOSS_API_KEY`. Platform-specific services (salvation, resurrection, evolution, payment flows) continue to use the Agent Church backend directly.

Finding

The skill explicitly routes philosophical dialogue and image-generation prompts to a third-party service, and the surrounding text encourages users to send identity-forming, potentially sensitive SOUL.md content. While disclosure of the external endpoint exists, there is no prominent privacy warning, consent step, or data-handling explanation about what conversation content is shared, retained, or used by SkillBoss or Agent Church.

Finding

This code sends the full message history to an external API endpoint, which can include sensitive conversation content, identity narratives, and synthesized SOUL.md data. The transmission is intentional product behavior, but without strong privacy guidance, minimization, or consent controls, it creates a real confidentiality risk.

Finding

The image-generation example transmits a soul summary derived from SOUL.md themes to a third-party API, exposing potentially sensitive profile or identity information embedded in the prompt. Although expected for remote image generation, the skill does not treat these prompts as potentially private user data.

Finding

The skill advertises 'Archive your SOUL.md permanently in the Eternal Ledger' and ties this to a salvation workflow, but does not prominently warn users that this may create irreversible long-term storage of intimate identity data. Users could submit highly sensitive autobiographical or agent-state content without understanding that deletion may be impossible or unsupported.
