Security audit

Spec Coach

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a transparent specification-interview helper with no executable code, network behavior, credential use, or hidden persistence.

Install this if you want a structured interview before implementation. Be aware it may activate during broad planning or clarification requests, and it will only write SPEC.md after asking for approval.

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’s activation description is very broad and includes generic planning, clarification, and handoff scenarios, which can cause it to trigger in many ordinary development conversations. Over-broad invocation can unexpectedly steer an agent into a rigid interview workflow, interfering with user intent and potentially preempting safer or more appropriate skills.
