PulseMindX

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

PulseMindX is a simple analysis/admin assistant skill with disclosed local prompt-file copying and no artifact-backed evidence of hidden execution, exfiltration, or unsafe persistence.

Before installing, review the copied prompt files and be careful with confidential datasets or memory snippets. Also check any separately installed skills before using tool integrations or scheduling features, since this package itself does not define those external capabilities.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • 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

Vague Triggers

Medium

Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The skill metadata describes a broad multi-agent system for analysis, admin tasks, reporting, and decision support without defining clear activation boundaries, permissions, or task constraints. Overly broad scope increases the chance the skill is invoked in inappropriate contexts or granted excessive trust, which can enable unsafe actions or ambiguous agent behavior.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
85% confidence
Finding

The markdown states that prompt files will be copied to the agent's local directory, which is a file-write behavior affecting the user's environment. The README does not include any warning or disclosure about this local modification beyond the operational statement itself.
