Security audit

Devops Scripts

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a small documentation lookup skill that prints static DevOps reference text and does not access credentials, network services, or persistent system settings.

Before installing, expect a generic DevOps reference helper rather than a full DevOps automation tool. It appears safe from a security perspective, but its documentation is shallow and contains one command-name mismatch that may confuse users.

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

  • MCP Tool PoisoningHidden Instructions, Unicode Deception, Parameter Description Injection

Confidence
70% confidence
Finding

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

Finding

The manifest and README describe the skill as a general 'Reference tool for devtools' and 'Quick lookup' without clearly constraining when it should be invoked or what requests fall outside its scope. Although commands are listed later, the top-level description remains broad enough to overlap with many common development help requests and provides no negative examples or exclusion conditions.

Confidence

Finding

The cheatsheet says the available command is 'troubleshooting', but the actual dispatcher only implements 'debugging' and has no 'troubleshooting' case. This is an active contradiction in the embedded documentation that can mislead users about the skill's interface.
