Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a markdown-only architecture review skill whose repository inspection guidance matches its stated purpose, with no evidence of hidden execution, persistence, or data exfiltration.

Install this if you want agent assistance with architecture and ADR reviews. Expect it to read and search the active repository when invoked; consider narrowing triggers locally if generic design discussions should not automatically load the 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
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • 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
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The trigger list includes broad single-word activators such as "architecture," "design," "patterns," and "principles," which are common in normal developer conversation and can cause the skill to activate outside its intended context. That increases the chance of unintended execution of the skill’s workflow, including loading additional modules and steering an agent into architecture-review behavior when the user did not explicitly request it.

Excessive Permissions

Low
Category
Privilege Escalation
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding

Skill requests more permissions than appear necessary for its stated functionality. Review if elevated access is justified.
