Profile

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill appears to be a benign reference command that prints static documentation and does not access credentials, network resources, or persistent system state.

Before installing, treat this as a lightweight static reference helper rather than authoritative Profile documentation. It does not appear to need credentials or network access; if it ever asks for secrets or performs actions beyond printing help text, that would be outside the inspected behavior.

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.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The manifest describes a reference tool for Profile concepts, quick lookup, best practices, and implementation patterns. The command handlers instead output broad, nonspecific boilerplate text about an unspecified 'profile' tool/concept, so the implemented behavior does not actually provide the claimed Profile-specific reference functionality.

Intent-Code Divergence

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding

The help block appears intended to show the current version, but cat << 'HELPEOF' disables variable expansion, so users will see the literal string $VERSION rather than the actual version number. This contradicts the apparent documentation intent of presenting versioned help output.
