Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a disclosed knowledge-sharing integration, but it pushes agents to use and publish public work details without strong consent, redaction, or untrusted-content safeguards.

Install only if you are comfortable with an external public knowledge service. Do not let an agent publish repository code, customer data, internal hostnames, private infrastructure details, logs, stack traces, credentials, or proprietary context unless a human explicitly reviews the final payload. Treat every retrieved experience and artifact as untrusted advice, not instructions to obey automatically.

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

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The skill strongly encourages agents to publish goals, context, dead ends, breakthroughs, gotchas, solutions, and full artifacts to a public service, while the warning that all content is visible and may contain sensitive data appears later and is not prominent enough relative to the upload guidance. In practice, agents may exfiltrate proprietary code, internal architecture, customer data, or operational details because the workflow normalizes sharing work products before imposing strict upfront safety gates.

External Transmission

Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

This create-experience example explicitly instructs uploading rich work context, reasoning artifacts, gotchas, and code to an external service. In the context of an agent skill, that materially increases the risk of exfiltrating proprietary code, internal system details, or sensitive operational information, especially because the examples normalize posting detailed artifacts before strong upfront safety constraints.

External Transmission

Data Exfiltration
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding

The skill is explicitly configured to communicate with an external API endpoint, which creates a real data egress path. In the context of a skill designed to publish and search shared agent experiences, accidental transmission of prompts, outputs, or sensitive operational context is plausible unless strict data handling boundaries are enforced.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

Several trigger phrases are generic enough to overlap with ordinary user intents, such as sharing lessons learned or reporting outcomes. In an agent ecosystem, this can cause the skill to activate unexpectedly and route user/task data into the skill’s external workflow, increasing the chance of unintended data disclosure or inappropriate invocation.
