Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill fetches a few user-selected public pages and saves local research notes, with disclosed behavior and proportionate safeguards.

Use Node 24+ and supply only public URLs without secrets. Evidence, drafts, and reports remain in your workspace. Website operators see the requests and server IP, and your configured cloud model may receive page text. Review the note against its sources because citation checks do not verify factual accuracy.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • Output HandlingUnvalidated Output Injection, Cross-Context Output, Unbounded Output
Findings (7)

Instruction Override

High
Category
Prompt Injection
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding

This pattern attempts to override system instructions or ignore safety constraints. Without LLM analysis, manual review is recommended.

YARA rule 'agent_skill_prompt_injection_hidden_instructions': Prompt injection or hidden instructions embedded in AI agent skill text [agent_skills]

High
Category
YARA Match
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding

YARA rule matched a hack tool or exploit indicator (offensive tools, reconnaissance, privilege escalation, or exploit frameworks).

Credential Access

High
Category
Privilege Escalation
Confidence
60% confidence
Finding

Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.

 assert.equal(publicUrl('https://example.org:443/path').href,'https://example.org/path');
});
test('private, reserved, multicast, metadata and transition IPs are refused',()=>{

Cloud Metadata Access

High
Category
Server-Side Request Forgery
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

Code accesses a cloud instance metadata endpoint (e.g. 169.254.169.254). A single request can return temporary IAM credentials, making this a high-value SSRF target for credential theft.

Skill declares no tool scope ('permissions' or 'allowed-tools') but code capabilities were detected: network.

Medium
Category
MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding

Without declared permissions the skill's intent is opaque and cannot be validated.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Scope Creep

Low
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding

Skill's behavior or capabilities extend beyond its stated purpose. Scope creep allows an agent to perform actions unrelated to its documented functionality, increasing the attack surface.

Directory creation and file writes occur without user disclosure.

Low
Category
Output Handling
Confidence
81% confidence
Finding

workspaceFolder creates directories, and writeNew creates and writes a file. The supplied file contains no confirmation, user-facing log, or explanatory comment/docstring disclosing these filesystem changes; exclusive creation prevents overwriting existing files but does not disclose the writes.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.
