Security audit

Flow Panel Designer

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a simple local flow-cytometry panel helper with no evidence of hidden network access, credential use, persistence, or destructive behavior.

Review the documentation mismatch before relying on the advertised --output behavior. From the inspected files, installing this skill mainly means allowing a small local Python script to process marker names and print panel suggestions; still treat results as planning assistance, not validated clinical or experimental advice.

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 skill documentation explicitly states that local Python/R scripts may be executed and output files may be written, but it does not clearly warn the user about these side effects in the primary usage section. This can mislead users into invoking the skill without understanding that it performs impactful local actions, increasing the chance of unsafe use or unintended file modifications.
