Agent Debate

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill coordinates debate agents through clearly disclosed workspace notes and shows no hidden code, network access, or system-level persistence.

Before installing, use this skill in a project or temporary directory where creating plans/debate-{topic}/ files is acceptable. Pick unique topic names and avoid placing secrets in debate prompts, since agent positions and synthesis notes will be saved locally.

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
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • 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 instructs agents to create and update multiple files in the workspace, but it does not warn the user that running the workflow will modify local state. This can lead to unexpected file creation, overwriting of prior debate artifacts, or accidental persistence of sensitive intermediate analysis in shared project directories.
