TIA HW AUDITOR

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill appears intended for legitimate TIA hardware auditing, but it would access engineering network shares and run an external audit script without enough scoping or user-control details.

Review before installing. Use it only with explicitly configured NAS/vault paths, a trusted and version-pinned audit script, read-only access to backups, and clear approval or monitoring for heartbeat-triggered runs.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Finding

The skill explicitly allows mounting or accessing network paths and running an external batch script, but it provides no safety constraints, trust boundaries, path validation, or user-facing warning about these impactful operations. In an agent context, this can lead to unintended access to sensitive network shares, execution of tampered scripts, or processing of attacker-controlled project archives without adequate review.
