Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a prompt-improvement skill that asks clarifying questions and does not request tools, file access, credentials, persistence, or code execution.

Install this if you want the assistant to challenge vague requests and ask clarifying questions before answering. Expect occasional extra back-and-forth on underspecified prompts; use PROCEED ANYWAY when you want it to answer with available context.

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
  • System Prompt LeakageDirect Leakage, Indirect Extraction, Tool-Based Exfiltration
  • 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

Finding

The skill is configured to activate on highly generic conditions such as any request where prompt quality is 'clearly insufficient,' which is subjective and broad enough to match many normal interactions. This can cause unintended interception of user requests, override more appropriate skills, and expand the reach of the skill beyond the user's explicit intent.
