Roomba Control

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a static Roomba Control reference helper that prints documentation and does not access credentials, network, files, or persistent system settings.

Review the content quality before relying on it: it appears to be generic reference text branded as Roomba Control. Security risk is low because it does not request secrets, run privileged actions, call the network, or persist changes.

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

Credential Access

High
Category
Privilege Escalation
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding

Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The manifest and header describe the skill as a generic "Reference tool for life" and "Quick lookup" resource without clearly limiting when it should activate or what user phrases should invoke it. This broad wording can overlap with ordinary requests and does not provide negative examples or explicit trigger boundaries.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Intent-Code Divergence

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The heredoc in show_help uses a single-quoted delimiter, so shell variables are not expanded. As a result, the documented banner 'roomba-control v$VERSION' contradicts the apparent intent of showing the real version value.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The manifest says this skill is a reference tool covering concepts and patterns, suggesting documentation lookup. In code, multiple commands output step-by-step operational guidance for installation, migration, debugging, and security workflows, which is materially broader than a simple reference/lookup role.
