Security audit

Ask First, Log Everything - Contro1 Approvals

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a disclosed approval-and-audit aid, but it broadly tells agents to send records of every autonomous action to an externally configured bridge without clear minimization or destination safeguards.

Install only if you intentionally use Contro1 audit logging and trust the configured bridge. Before use, configure a known HTTPS endpoint, require authentication, and ensure agents do not log secrets, cookies, tokens, message bodies, private file contents, sensitive paths, payment data, or personal identifiers in audit fields.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • 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
