Security audit

Prophet

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a static Prophet reference helper; it does not read credentials, call the network, or persist changes.

This appears safe to install as a static reference skill. Expect plain text documentation only; be aware that a couple of command/help labels are inconsistent and may need cleanup by the publisher.

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

Credential Access

High
Category
Privilege Escalation
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding

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

Intent-Code Divergence

Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

The help output is produced with a single-quoted here-document delimiter, which disables shell variable expansion. As a result, the documented banner line shows prophet v$VERSION literally, contradicting the apparent intent of presenting the real tool version in help output.

Intent-Code Divergence

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The inline reference table presents troubleshooting as an available command, but the command dispatcher only recognizes debugging. This is an active documentation-to-code contradiction that can mislead users about the skill's interface.
