Security audit

Herzberg Two-Factor Theory

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a markdown-only management coaching skill with a coherent purpose and no hidden code, but users should avoid storing sensitive employee details in reusable notes.

Install only if you want the agent to apply a Herzberg motivation framework to workplace retention and engagement questions. Do not paste confidential employee, compensation, or exit-interview details into persistent examples or shared skill notes unless they are anonymized and intentionally retained.

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

Finding

The skill includes broad trigger terms such as 'motivation,' 'engagement,' and 'retention,' which are common in ordinary workplace discussions and can cause the skill to activate outside its intended scope. This is not code-execution dangerous, but it can lead to inappropriate routing, over-application of a specific management framework, and reduced reliability of the agent's behavior.
