Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a simple local IHC/IF protocol helper with no evidence of hidden network access, credential use, persistence, or destructive behavior.

Review the generated wet-lab recommendations before use and do not treat them as validated experimental or clinical guidance. The security-relevant behavior is limited to running a local Python script in this artifact; the documentation should be cleaned up because some listed options and file-output claims do not match the actual script.

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

This markdown file describes safety-relevant behaviors including local script execution and writing output files, but the text frames them as internal risk assessment details rather than a user-facing warning. Under the markdown-specific warning rule, descriptions should explicitly disclose actions that may affect user data or system integrity.
