Nodemon Config Validator

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward local nodemon configuration validator with no hidden network, persistence, credential, or destructive behavior found.

Installers should expect this skill to run a local Python validator on nodemon-related config files. Review findings before acting on them, especially warnings about exec commands, but the artifact itself does not show hidden or high-impact 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
