Capacities

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill matches its Capacities note-taking purpose, but its shell examples need review because unsafe value substitution could run unintended local commands.

Review before installing. Use this only with your own Capacities account, keep the API token private, and avoid asking an agent to paste arbitrary note text directly into the provided shell commands. A safer version should build JSON with a structured tool or HTTP client instead of interpolating user content into shell source.

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
