Security audit

Acul Screen Generator

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is purpose-aligned for Auth0 login screen generation, but its Vanilla JS templates promote unsafe HTML construction in authentication pages.

Review carefully before installing for Vanilla JS ACUL work. Prefer the React path or require the JS templates to be changed to DOM APIs/textContent with validated HTTPS icon URLs before using generated code in any real login flow, especially production.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • 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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The skill description ends with a broad catch-all trigger: 'any task involving Auth0 Universal Login customization...' which can cause the skill to activate for loosely related requests outside its intended scope. Over-broad activation increases the chance that the agent invokes this skill in the wrong context, leading to inappropriate guidance, unsafe file changes, or disclosure of internal project context to an unnecessary workflow.

Missing User Warnings

Finding

This is a markdown file, so SQP-2 applies to omissions in the skill description. The reference shows login, signup, MFA, and password reset calls using usernames, passwords, and reset actions, but does not include any warning that these operations submit sensitive authentication data to Auth0 or affect account state.
