Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a structured coding-workflow guide with no hidden payloads, persistence, or exfiltration behavior, though its activation phrases are broad.

Install this if you want a strict, approval-gated workflow for defined coding tasks. Be aware it may activate on ordinary task-execution wording and will add ceremony, including mandatory planning sections, baseline validation, and sometimes scoped sub-agent use.

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 trigger conditions are broad enough to auto-activate on ordinary user phrasing such as 'execute this task' or 'implement this ticket', which can cause the agent to enter this skill unexpectedly. Because the skill imposes rigid workflow, planning gates, delegated sub-agent behavior, and command execution expectations, accidental activation can materially change how a request is handled and expand the operational surface without explicit user intent.
