Persistent Agent Memory 1.0.1

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a straightforward remote persistent-memory helper, but users should be careful because stored text is retained by Coral Bricks and deletion is semantic rather than exact.

Install only if you are comfortable sending selected memory text and metadata to Coral Bricks for cross-session retention. Do not store credentials, secrets, regulated personal data, or confidential business material unless you have authorization and understand the provider's retention and deletion behavior. Use narrow queries when deleting memories.

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

Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
Cross-session persistence is the core function of this skill, but persistent memory increases the blast radius of any accidental storage of sensitive or adversarial content. In this context, the danger is elevated because the skill explicitly encourages retaining context across sessions while using a default shared collection abstraction, which can normalize long-term retention without clear data minimization boundaries.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs users to store arbitrary memories in a third-party service but does not clearly warn, at the point of use, that submitted content leaves the local environment and persists across sessions. This creates a meaningful risk that operators or downstream agents will send sensitive data, credentials, or personal information off-platform without informed consent.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The deletion feature is described as semantic query-based removal, but the documentation does not warn that approximate matching can delete more memories than intended. Because semantic matching is inherently fuzzy, a broad or ambiguous query could remove unrelated persisted records and cause integrity loss that may be difficult to detect or recover.
