Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a game-combat guide that openly describes high-impact in-game transactions, including raids and attacks, but its capabilities match its stated purpose.

Install only if you intend the agent to help with Structs combat. Before allowing commands, confirm the signing key, target IDs, fleet movement, and any -y auto-submit raid action, because mistakes can cause irreversible in-game attacks, exposed defenses, or ore loss.

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
  • Rogue AgentSelf-Modification, Session Persistence
  • 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

Session Persistence

4. **Approval Block** — fleet is your raider and now at the target; defender's CMD ship is down (verified); your home ore is refined or below your theft tolerance; you accept an auto-submitted completion landing minutes-to-hours out.
5. **Raid compute** (expedition, auto-submits completion — the documented `-y` exception):
   ```bash
   nohup structsd tx structs planet-raid-compute -D 3 --from [key] --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 -y -- [fleet-id] \
     > memory/jobs/raid-[fleet-id].log 2>&1 & echo $! > memory/jobs/raid-[fleet-id].pid
   ```
6. **Move fleet home and refine the stolen ore immediately** — it's stealable in *your* hands now too.

Finding
Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
