Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a short, disclosed legal-workflow reference for Box use and does not contain executable code or hidden behavior.

Before installing, review the referenced Box skill and prefer a pinned release or commit if your environment requires strict provenance. Treat Box AI outputs as supporting evidence only, and keep the documented human approval steps for legal decisions and access changes.

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
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • 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

Finding

The skill instructs users to run npx skills add https://github.com/box/skills --skill box without pinning a specific version, commit, or immutable release. This creates a supply-chain risk: if the referenced package or repository changes, a user may fetch and execute unexpected or malicious code during installation.
