Security audit

Wakatime Lite

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a plain-text reference helper and does not show credential access, network activity, persistence, or hidden behavior.

Before installing, treat it as a static reference script rather than a real Wakatime integration. It does not need credentials, and users should not provide secrets to it.

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.

Intent-Code Divergence

Confidence

Finding

The help output is introduced as "wakatime-lite v$VERSION" in the user-facing documentation, implying the actual version will be shown. Because the heredoc delimiter is single-quoted, shell expansion is disabled, so the script prints the literal text rather than the current version value.

Intent-Code Divergence

Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

The quick reference lists "troubleshooting" as an essential command, but the implemented command set only includes "debugging" for that purpose. This is an active contradiction between the skill's embedded documentation and actual behavior, which can mislead users about supported functionality.
