Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The scanners returned a benign verdict: they found no AIG issues and treated one possible session-persistence finding as expected for the skill’s purpose, though the review was partial.

The verdict is benign, with medium confidence. Consider that the scan was partial: several path-like references were unresolved, so the evidence does not establish that every referenced item was reviewed.

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

Session Persistence

Medium

Category: Rogue Agent
Confidence: 60% confidence
Finding: Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
