Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple coding-assistant skill with broad but disclosed behavior and no evidence of hidden execution, data access, persistence, or exfiltration.

Before installing, understand that this skill may be invoked for a wide range of coding tasks and will steer the agent toward senior-engineer style code review and implementation advice. Review any generated commands before running them, but the artifact itself does not add hidden execution or sensitive access.

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

Finding
The skill description is broad enough to activate for a wide range of common coding requests, which can cause this skill to be invoked more often than intended. Overbroad routing increases the chance that a generic coding persona or prompt supplants more specialized or restrictive skills, potentially weakening task-specific safeguards or causing unintended handling of sensitive development tasks.
