Security audit

CTO / Chief Technology Officer

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a CTO advice skill made of Markdown guidance, with only clearly disclosed local preference storage and no executable payloads or external data flow.

Installers should know this skill may keep local company-stage, team-size, and stack notes under ~/Clawic/data/cto/. Review those files if they contain sensitive company context, but the skill does not disclose network use or executable behavior.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Finding

The phrase "Anything else" in the quick reference is a broad activation condition that can overlap with many unrelated user requests. Without exclusion conditions or tighter scope, it risks invoking the CTO skill outside clearly defined technical-strategy contexts.
