Security audit

Netwatch

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a local Netwatch reference helper that only prints documentation and shows no evidence of credential access, network calls, persistence, or hidden behavior.

Installing this skill appears low risk from the inspected artifacts. Expect a static local reference command, but be aware the package has minor documentation/version inconsistencies that may make one listed command name inaccurate.

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.

Finding

The inline reference table claims an available command named 'troubleshooting', but the dispatcher only recognizes 'debugging' and has no 'troubleshooting' branch. This is an active contradiction in the skill's own documentation about how to use it.
