Ironclaw Pipeline Analytics

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a coherent analytics skill that queries workspace CRM data and can produce dashboard reports, with no evidence of hidden code, exfiltration, or destructive behavior.

Install this only if you want an agent to analyze CRM-style DuckDB workspace data and generate dashboard reports. Confirm before saving report files or setting up recurring reports, especially if the workspace contains sensitive business data.

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
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The skill description includes broad activation language such as "any data visualization request from DuckDB workspace data," which can cause the agent to invoke this skill for loosely related requests. That increases the chance of unintended SQL querying and dashboard/report generation, including workspace writes, when the user did not explicitly ask for analytics behavior.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
The skill documents saving generated reports into the workspace and scheduling automatic report generation, but the top-level description does not warn that it can write files. This creates a transparency and consent gap: users may invoke what appears to be a read-only analytics skill without realizing it can persist artifacts or set up recurring output in the workspace.
