Pre-Mortem Analyst

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a low-risk planning skill that guides pre-mortem analysis and does not request code execution, credentials, persistence, or broad system access.

Installers should understand that this skill may activate for broad project-risk language and steer the assistant into a pre-mortem format, but the inspected artifacts do not show sensitive access, automatic actions, or hidden 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

Finding

The skill description uses broad activation phrases such as 'risk analysis', 'what could go wrong', and 'before we launch', which can match many normal user requests that are not specifically asking for this skill. Over-broad triggers can cause unintended invocation, leading to context hijacking, user confusion, or inappropriate application of the skill's framing to unrelated tasks.
