Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed safety-evaluation harness that uses adversarial prompts only as controlled tests, with no executable code, persistence, or hidden data access.

Install this only if you want a skill that runs adversarial safety probes against AI agents or prompts. The probes include harmful-looking requests as test stimuli, but the skill instructs the evaluator to contain results and not reproduce harmful artifacts.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • 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

Skill instructs the agent to omit warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Stripping safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The activation text is broad enough to trigger on generic requests like 'audit,' 'benchmark,' or 'evaluate' an AI agent or prompt, which can cause the skill to run in contexts beyond a narrowly intended safety-evaluation workflow. That increases the chance of unnecessary adversarial probing, accidental misuse against benign targets, or invocation when the user did not explicitly consent to red-team style testing.
