Security audit

architecture-paradigm-client-server

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a lightweight architecture guidance document with no code execution, persistence, credential access, or hidden data handling.

This skill is safe to treat as general architecture guidance. Be aware it may appear in broad architecture conversations, and only install the referenced external Claude Code plugin separately if you trust that plugin source and review its own 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 trigger list is overly broad and includes generic terms like "architecture," "distributed-systems," and "trust boundaries," which are likely to match many ordinary conversations outside the intended client-server paradigm use case. In an agent environment, this can cause unnecessary or unintended activation, expanding the skill's influence over unrelated tasks and potentially injecting inappropriate guidance into broader design discussions.
