Security audit

Changelog Linter

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a read-only changelog checker whose behavior matches its stated purpose.

Before installing, note that the skill runs a local Python script and reads the changelog file path you provide. It appears proportionate for changelog linting and does not show hidden persistence, network use, or data modification.

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 Least PrivilegeUnderdeclared Capability, Wildcard Permission, Missing Permission Declaration
  • MCP Tool PoisoningHidden Instructions, Unicode Deception, Parameter Description Injection
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access

Finding

The manifest describes a skill for validating and linting CHANGELOG.md files against Keep a Changelog conventions. In addition to linting, the code exposes versions, order, and links commands that enumerate release metadata and perform targeted reporting, which goes beyond the narrowly described lint/validate interface.
