Security audit

Animate

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

Animate is a UI motion guidance skill that stores limited local preferences and does not include executables or automatic data transfer.

Before installing, be aware that this skill may create local files under ~/animate/ to remember animation preferences and project context. Avoid storing secrets or sensitive customer details there, and choose a narrow activation preference if you only want it used for explicit implementation requests.

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

Confidence

Finding

The setup says the skill should activate for 'every time the user asks for app animation, motion polish, transitions, or micro-interactions,' but also says activation may be 'only when they explicitly want implementation help' or 'only for selected products.' These alternatives are not resolved in the file, making the trigger scope unclear and broad enough to cause unintended invocation on common design requests.
