Security audit

Tragedy of the Commons

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a reasoning-framework skill for analyzing shared-resource problems, with no executable code, persistence, credential use, or hidden high-impact behavior.

This skill appears safe to install as a conceptual analysis aid. Users should still check that a real shared, rivalrous resource is involved before relying on its framing, because it may otherwise steer discussion toward a commons-governance model when another framework fits better.

A.I.G

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

Finding

The activation text uses broad, natural-language cues such as complaints about overuse, burnout, or popularity, which can match many ordinary conversations and cause the skill to activate when the user did not intend it. In an agentic system, over-broad activation can misroute reasoning, bias the agent toward a specific framework, and create prompt-scope interference with other skills even though the content is not overtly malicious.
