Go Testing Code Review

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a Go test-review guidance skill with no executable payload, and its file-reading and example test commands fit its stated purpose.

Before installing, expect the skill to make the agent inspect Go module and test files during reviews. Treat the referenced sibling verification skill as a separate dependency if present, and review golden-file changes carefully when using any suggested -update workflow because it can rewrite expected-output files.

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 instructs users to run tests with the -update flag, and the example code writes golden files to disk via os.WriteFile. Although the behavior is described functionally, the documentation does not explicitly warn that using this pattern or command will overwrite expected-output files in the repository.
