Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple architecture-guidance skill for pipes-and-filters pipeline design, with no code execution, persistence, credential access, or hidden behavior found.

This skill appears safe to install for architecture discussions, but expect it may activate on generic pipeline, ETL, streaming, or architecture prompts even when you did not specifically ask for the pipes-and-filters paradigm.

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 is broad and includes generic terms like "architecture," "pipeline," "streaming," and especially the natural-language phrase covering ETL and CI/CD contexts. This can cause the skill to activate in many unrelated conversations, increasing the chance that its guidance is injected where it was not intended and potentially steering agent behavior unexpectedly.
