Bat Cat

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward guide for installing and using the bat file viewer, with only expected optional configuration advice.

Review the optional shell configuration examples before applying them, especially aliases or PAGER/MANPAGER changes, because they can change how your terminal displays files. The skill itself does not show hidden behavior or unsafe installation logic.

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

Session Persistence

Medium
Category
Rogue Agent
Confidence
60% confidence
Finding

Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
