Autohotkey

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a low-risk local reference script, but its AutoHotkey content is mostly generic placeholder guidance rather than a useful AutoHotkey reference.

Install only if you are comfortable with a very generic reference helper. It appears safe from a security perspective, but it should not be relied on for accurate AutoHotkey guidance until the publisher replaces the placeholder content with real AutoHotkey-specific documentation.

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

Finding

The code is benign and functions as a documentation-style CLI, which is broadly aligned with a reference/help tool. However, the content does not materially deliver what the description promises: an Autohotkey reference with concepts, best practices, and implementation patterns. The emitted text is mostly templated, domain-generic guidance with placeholders like 'autohotkey is a specialized tool/concept in the devtools domain,' rather than concrete Autohotkey syntax, APIs, examples, or patterns. Additionally, the implemented command set includes broader generic operational topics beyond the declared summary. So while the high-level category is similar, the actual behavior materially misrepresents itself as an Autohotkey reference resource.

Finding

Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
