Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a documentation-only microservices architecture guidance skill with broad triggers but no code execution, persistence, credential access, or data movement.

Installers should understand that this skill may surface microservices advice for broad architecture or scalability prompts. Review that advice critically, especially because microservices can add operational complexity, but the artifact itself does not show security-sensitive 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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The trigger list contains very broad terms such as 'architecture', 'microservices', 'distributed-systems', and 'scalability', which are likely to match many ordinary conversations and cause the skill to activate outside its intended narrow context. Over-broad activation increases the chance that architectural guidance is injected when not requested, which can bias agent behavior and expand the influence of this skill in unrelated workflows.
