Signaling Games

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a teaching skill for applying signaling-game analysis, with no code execution, credential access, persistence, or hidden operational behavior.

Before installing, treat this as an analytical framework rather than a source of authoritative current geopolitical facts; its cited 2025-2026 examples may need independent fact-checking for time-sensitive decisions, but the skill itself shows no security-relevant overreach.

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
