Liveview Code Review

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a normal LiveView review checklist, but it requires loading an unbundled sibling skill outside the reviewed package.

Install only if you trust the adjacent review-verification-protocol skill that your agent will load, or ask the publisher to bundle or pin that protocol inside this package. The LiveView guidance itself appears purpose-aligned and non-executable, but the external instruction dependency should be reviewed carefully.

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
