Tee Tool

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a small tee-like utility whose file-writing behavior is expected, but users should know it overwrites files and its documented options are not actually implemented.

Install only if you want a minimal pipe-output saver. Treat it as overwrite-only: do not use it on important files unless you intend to replace them, and do not rely on the documented -a or multi-file behavior unless the implementation is fixed.

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

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The script writes stdin content to a file at a user-supplied path or to the default file 'out.txt'. There is no confirmation prompt, logging/print statement about the write target, or inline documentation warning the user that input will be persisted to disk.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The skill documentation clearly states that the tool writes stdin to one or more files, but it does not warn that existing files are overwritten by default unless `-a` is used. In an agent setting, this omission can lead to unintended data loss if the tool is used on important paths or logs, especially when chained into automated workflows.
