Security audit

Secret Encrypt

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill appears to be a low-risk reference script that prints generic documentation, though its Secret Encrypt guidance is vague and not very substantive.

Install only if you are comfortable with a very lightweight, generic reference helper. It does not appear to access credentials or the network, but you should not rely on it as authoritative Secret Encrypt documentation without checking primary sources.

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

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

Confidence

Finding

The manifest and intro describe the skill generically as a reference tool covering 'intro, quickstart, patterns and more' and 'quick lookup' without stating clear invocation boundaries or exclusion conditions. For a markdown file, this creates ambiguity about when the skill should activate versus other general documentation or help skills.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The manifest says this skill is a reference tool for Secret Encrypt concepts, best practices, and implementation patterns. In code, every command prints broad, templated content with generic phrases like 'specialized tool/concept in the devtools domain' rather than concrete Secret Encrypt reference material, so the implemented behavior does not substantively match the claimed subject matter.

Intent-Code Divergence

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The header comment and help text present the script as a 'Secret Encrypt Reference Tool.' However, the command implementations return largely nonspecific documentation boilerplate applicable to many tools, contradicting the documentation's claim that this is a genuine Secret Encrypt reference.
