Project Scaffold

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward project scaffolding guide, with ordinary but real supply-chain caution around unpinned package installation commands.

Install only if you are comfortable with a skill that may guide an agent to create new local projects and run package-manager scaffolding commands. For sensitive environments, pin package versions, review generated files and lockfiles, and run scaffolding without unrelated credentials available.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns

Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
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

Review generated `package.json` and lockfile changes before running dependency installation. 4. Commit the generated lockfile and use reproducible installation commands such as `npm ci` for subsequent installations. 5. Enable available package provenance, signature, and integrity verification controls. 6. Run scaffolding in an isolated, least-privileged environment without unnecessary credentials. 7. Review new versions before updating the pinned scaffold version. ]]>

Credential Access

High

Category: Privilege Escalation
Confidence: 60% confidence
Finding: Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 94% confidence
Finding: The usage guidance says to use this skill whenever Colt or the user 'needs to start a new project,' which is a broad natural-language condition that could overlap with many routine requests. The file does not provide explicit trigger phrases, scope boundaries, or exclusion examples to clarify when this skill should or should not activate.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Rp1

Medium

Category: MCP Rug Pull
Confidence: 70% confidence
Finding: npx commands without a version suffix (e.g. @1.0.0) create a rug-pull risk if the upstream server is compromised and publishes a malicious update.
