Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a markdown-only architecture review guide with disclosed, purpose-aligned codebase reading and limited documentation updates.

Before installing, expect the skill to read project architecture documents and source files, use exploration sub-agents, and make narrowly scoped documentation edits to CONTEXT.md when you choose to deepen a module. It does not install code or request credentials.

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
  • 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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Finding

The instruction says to "use these terms exactly" and explicitly forbids alternatives like "component," "service," "API," or "boundary." This is a natural-language policy concern because it forces a specific language/vocabulary choice globally, with no user choice or documented locale/policy justification.
