Security audit

Sidekiq Job Analyzer

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a focused Sidekiq review checklist that reads relevant project files and does not install, persist, modify, or exfiltrate anything.

Before installing, expect the agent to read Sidekiq worker code and configuration files in the current project. Review any findings before applying fixes, especially for payment, retry, queue, and Redis changes.

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 example trigger phrases like "Analyze my Sidekiq jobs for issues" and "Optimize Sidekiq performance and memory usage" are natural-language requests without explicit invocation boundaries or exclusion conditions. Although Sidekiq-specific, the file does not define when the skill should activate versus when a broader Ruby/performance skill should not, which can lead to unintended invocation.
