Geox Ground

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a markdown-only geoscience reasoning skill that may trigger broadly but does not request sensitive access, execute code, or persist changes.

Installers should expect this skill to influence answers about geology and subsurface topics, and occasionally unrelated uses of words like pressure, depth, formation, or structure. It does not appear to run code or access data, but its routing triggers could be narrowed for cleaner behavior.

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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The activation criteria are very broad, including generic conditions like 'any claim involves' broad Earth-domain topics and a mandatory-sounding activation. In a multi-skill agent, this can cause inappropriate triggering on loosely related prompts, leading to skill overreach, degraded routing accuracy, and potentially incorrect constraint application to non-geoscience tasks.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The keyword trigger list contains ambiguous terms such as 'formation', 'structure', 'pressure', and 'depth' that are common across many domains. If used as activation signals, they can spuriously invoke the skill in unrelated contexts, causing misrouting and contaminating responses with irrelevant domain rules.
