Security audit

plugin-review

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a coherent plugin quality-review skill, with only minor activation-scope cautions from broad triggers.

This skill is reasonable to install for plugin review workflows. Before installing, be aware it may activate on broad words like review, quality, validation, testing, or architecture, and its intended use involves running local repository commands such as git diff, make test, make lint, make typecheck, and Python validation scripts.

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

Shadow Command Trigger

Medium
Category
Trigger Abuse
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

Using 'review' as a trigger creates a shadowing risk with a built-in command of the same name, which can cause the wrong handler to run or make invocation behavior ambiguous. In agent environments, command/skill name collisions are dangerous because they can hijack expected control flow, suppress the intended built-in action, or produce inconsistent results depending on resolution order.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The trigger list includes broad, everyday terms like 'review', 'quality', 'validation', 'testing', and 'architecture', which can cause the skill to activate in many unrelated contexts. In an agent system, unintended activation can lead to incorrect workflow routing, loading unnecessary modules, or causing this skill to influence tasks that were not meant to invoke plugin-review behavior.
