Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed local cost-summary helper for CodexBar logs, with no evidence of hidden behavior, exfiltration, or destructive actions.

Install only if you are comfortable letting CodexBar read local Codex or Claude usage logs to compute cost summaries, and review the third-party CodexBar Homebrew package because the live mode depends on that external CLI.

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

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence

Finding
The skill instructs users to run a bundled Python script and invokes external commands (`python`, `codexbar`, shell pipelines, file/stdin input), but it does not declare any tool scope such as `permissions` or `allowed-tools`. That creates a mismatch between documented capabilities and declared restrictions, making it easier for an agent runtime to grant broader-than-intended shell or file access without explicit review.

Finding
subprocess module calls execute external commands. Without careful input validation, this enables command injection.
