Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a documentation-only testing standards skill with broad activation terms but no code execution, persistence, or sensitive access.

Installers should be aware that the skill may appear when discussing generic quality or metrics topics. Review its advice as testing guidance and ignore it when the conversation is not about test standards or coverage gates.

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
95% confidence
Finding
The trigger list is broad and includes common terms like 'testing', 'quality', 'standards', and 'metrics', which are likely to match ordinary user conversations outside the intended scope. This can cause unintended activation of the skill, injecting its guidance into unrelated contexts and potentially interfering with agent behavior or routing.
