Security audit

omarchy

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a Markdown-only Omarchy operating guide that tells agents to use safer Omarchy-native workflows and ask before impactful actions.

Install this only if you want the agent to prefer Omarchy-specific commands for local system tasks. Review commands before allowing impactful actions such as installs, removals, updates, setup, password changes, reboots, shutdowns, or log uploads.

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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • 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

Autonomous Decision Making

Medium
Category
Excessive Agency
Content
User intent: "Install/remove package X."

- Bad:
  - using raw `pacman`/`yay` first without checking Omarchy wrappers
- Good:
  - inspect and prefer `omarchy-pkg-*` flow (`...-present`, `...-missing`, then `...-install`/`...-remove`)
- Why: wrapper flow keeps behavior consistent with Omarchy expectations.
Confidence
75% confidence
Finding
Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
