Security audit

tlctc-classify

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill provides a cybersecurity classification framework with no bundled code, sensitive access requirements, or system-changing instructions.

Suitable for TLCTC security analysis. Restrict activation to explicit TLCTC requests or established security context to avoid accidental activation from numbered references. Scanner coverage was partial, but the bundled document and flagged gaps were independently examined. Review the linked repository instructions before using its Layer 3 authoring workflow; external content is outside this verdict.

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

Unsafe Defaults

Finding

Tool defaults are unsafe or overly permissive (e.g. disabled TLS verification, no authentication, world-writable permissions). Unsafe defaults widen the attack surface.

# PART IV: WORKED EXAMPLES

## Example 1: Feature/Config Misuse (Pure #1)
- **Scenario:** Public object storage bucket is reconfigured to be world-readable
- **Attack Path:** `#1`
- **Outcomes:** `[DRE: C]` (data exposure)
- **Rationale:** No implementation flaw required; attacker advantage comes from legitimate configuration surface

Numeric cluster-ID triggers lack a TLCTC-context requirement and can cause unintended activation.

Finding

The operating notes require applying this framework whenever the user references generic identifiers such as '#1' through '#10', without requiring TLCTC or cybersecurity context. Ordinary numbered references could therefore activate an unrelated classification workflow and displace the requested response; the framework's mandatory identity and output instructions amplify this task-routing problem, although the trigger itself does not authorize code execution or data access.
