Security audit

Cathedral Audit

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill has a coherent audit-and-fix purpose, but it asks agents to create code changes, run shell-enabled delegated sessions, and install an unspecified recurring cron monitor without enough scoping or cleanup.

Install only if you are comfortable with the agent modifying the repository, running build commands, creating commits, and potentially adding a recurring cron monitor. Before using it, prefer replacing the cron step with in-session monitoring, use secure per-run temporary files instead of /tmp/task.md, and limit delegated tools to the current tier's actual needs.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • System PersistenceInstalls backdoors, hooks, services, or scheduled tasks that survive the run
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • 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

Finding

The skill explicitly instructs launching a subordinate CC session with Edit,Write,Read,Bash, which enables repository modification and shell command execution. While this appears operational rather than malicious, it lacks an explicit safety warning, confirmation gate, or scoping controls, so a user could invoke the skill without clearly understanding that it may execute commands and mutate the repo.
