Claude Memory Pro

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a local memory-management skill whose persistence behavior is visible and aligned with its stated purpose, though users should avoid storing sensitive information in it.

Install this only if you want the agent to keep local cross-session notes. Review the memory directory periodically, delete stale entries, and do not store secrets, credentials, private personal details, or sensitive project material unless you intentionally want them retained on disk.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • 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

Finding

The skill explicitly advertises cross-session memory for user and project information, but provides no user-facing notice about persistence, retention, or privacy implications. This can lead to unintentional storage of sensitive personal or project data across sessions, especially because the feature is framed as a core capability rather than an opt-in action.

Missing User Warnings

Category

Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The documented workflow instructs the agent to read, write, and index memory files without warning that these actions persist user-related data to local storage. Because the skill includes categories such as user preferences, background, project context, and external system references, silent persistence increases the risk of retaining sensitive information without informed consent.
