Security audit

Dvc Pipeline Auditor

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This markdown-only skill provides a DVC pipeline audit checklist and uses local project inspection that fits its stated purpose.

Install only if you want an agent to inspect DVC project files and produce audit recommendations. Review remediation commands before running them, especially commands that modify DVC remotes, push/pull data, clean cache, or rewrite dependency pins.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Finding
The description says to use the skill for broad requests like "analyze DVC storage," "review pipeline stages," and especially triggers on "ml pipeline," which is not specific to DVC and could overlap with many unrelated ML workflow conversations. The file does not provide exclusion conditions or negative examples to clarify when the skill should not activate.
