Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The verdict is benign because the scanners report no malicious behavior and identify one data-handling omission, though the scan was partial.

The verdict is benign, not risk-free. Before installing, consider whether you may use heap snapshots containing secrets or personal data; handle any snapshots privately and remove them when no longer needed. The scan was partial because several referenced paths could not be matched to bundled 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
  • Output HandlingUnvalidated Output Injection, Cross-Context Output, Unbounded Output
  • 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

Heap snapshots can contain credentials, tokens, personal information, and other sensitive values retained in application memory. The workflow recommends saving a snapshot to a predictable /tmp path without warning about its sensitivity or specifying access controls and cleanup, creating a potential disclosure risk if the artifact is accessible to other users or later shared. Heap collection is legitimate in this debugging skill, and no exfiltration is instructed, so this is a handling omission rather than evidence of malicious intent.
