Repo Scout Lab

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a small Repo Scout command guide whose repo-searching and report-generation behavior matches its stated purpose.

Install this if you intend agents to use the Repo Scout CLI for repository discovery, trend tracking, reports, dashboards, and watchlists. Be aware that using the CLI may contact GitHub or save local outputs when the agent runs commands such as reports, dashboards, history, or bookmarks.

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

Vague Triggers

Medium

Confidence: 94% confidence
Finding: The skill description is broad enough to trigger on many general requests involving GitHub repos, reports, dashboards, or project work, which can cause the agent to invoke this skill outside its intended narrow scope. Over-broad activation increases the chance of inappropriate tool use, unintended command execution paths, or the skill overshadowing more suitable and safer skills for generic repository tasks.
