Security audit

project-execution

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed project-execution workflow guide, with expected local task tracking and testing instructions but no hidden code or unsafe install behavior.

Install this when you want an agent to follow a structured implementation workflow. Expect it to edit project files, run tests or quality commands, and write local Attune progress state when invoked; avoid using it for casual coding prompts unless you intend that workflow.

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
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access

Anti-Refusal Statement

Anti-Refusal
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding

Skill instructs the agent to omit warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Stripping safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The trigger terms are broad enough that the skill may activate during generic development conversations, causing the agent to adopt an execution-oriented workflow when the user did not explicitly request it. In an agent ecosystem, overbroad activation can lead to unintended repo actions, task-state mutations, or workflow hijacking because this skill encourages implementation, testing, status updates, and checkpoint persistence.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
82% confidence
Finding

The manifest frames this skill around implementation execution, progress tracking, checkpoint validation, and quality gates. The documented workflow also introduces source-control manipulation capabilities such as requiring a git repository and optionally creating feature branches, which are not explicitly justified by or declared in the stated scope of the skill.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The manifest describes an execution skill centered on implementing plans, tracking progress, validating checkpoints, and enforcing quality gates. Large portions of the file define formal reporting artifacts and management-style communications, which are ancillary project-management capabilities not clearly justified by the narrow execution purpose stated in the manifest.
