Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward GitHub CLI helper skill with disclosed, purpose-aligned commands, though users should verify repository targets before running state-changing GitHub actions.

Install this if you want Codex guidance for GitHub CLI workflows. Before state-changing actions such as creating repositories, opening or merging PRs, publishing releases, or commenting on issues, confirm the GitHub account, owner, repository, branch, and command arguments. Treat the external setup-guide link as unreviewed content.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • 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

Finding

The trigger description is broad enough to activate on many generic GitHub-related requests, which can cause the agent to invoke this skill in contexts where lower-risk or more specific handling would be preferable. Because the skill enables authenticated repository, PR, issue, and release operations, over-triggering increases the chance of unintended state-changing actions against the wrong repository or account context.
