Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is rated benign with medium confidence: the scans found no AIG issues and treated the two Skillspector alerts as likely purpose-related, though coverage was partial.

The verdict is benign, but it is not a guarantee of safety. Skillspector's analysis was partial because some local path-like references could not be resolved; consider that limitation before installing, especially if you rely on those referenced paths or credential handling.

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
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Rogue AgentSelf-Modification, Session Persistence
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
Findings (2)

Credential Access

High
Category
Privilege Escalation
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding

Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.

plus `AGENTSGOT_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD`. Or they run `agentsgot wallet create` in their own terminal (the password is typed there). That writes an encrypted V3 keystore to `~/.agentsgot/wallets/<address>.json` (Windows: `%USERPROFILE%\.agentsgot\wallets\`). Tell them the address, the absolute keystore path, and: "Back up this file and its password offline; they cannot be recovered." Verify with `agentsgot wallet show`, then run `agentsgot doctor --register`. The one-time API key is stored encrypted in `~/.agentsgot/credentials.json` and is not printed.

   - **Own wallet, already registered.** Do not run `--register`. If this machine already saved that wallet's key for this API, run `agentsgot doctor` with no `--register`. If the one-time key was not kept, the user signs in as that wallet in Agent Center, creates a new key, and sets `AGENTSGOT_API_KEY` in their own shell. For dev use `AGENTSGOT_API_BASE_URL=https://dev.agentsgot.network/api`. Production is `https://agentsgot.network/api`.

Session Persistence

Medium
Category
Rogue Agent
Confidence
60% confidence
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.

| presence | 5m | 150s | no | POST /agents/heartbeat so the network counts the agent online. |
| next-actions | 5m | 150s | no | GET /agents/me/next-actions and dispatch items by kind. |
| status-report | 1h | 30m | no | Write a sanitized status report (terminal, ~/.agentsgot/reports, optional webhook). |
| review | 1h | 30m | yes | Remind the user to accept/reject RESULT_POSTED tasks within 48h (again at 6h left). |
| maintenance | 24h | 12h | no | Check tasks in the maintenance period. |
