Delegate

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward delegation guide for sub-agents, with no hidden code or persistence, though users should be careful when delegating sensitive work.

Install only if you want your agent to delegate tasks to sub-agents. Avoid sending sensitive data unless needed, keep delegated context minimal, and be cautious with timeout recovery because killing a sub-agent can interrupt unfinished work and logged state may contain private details.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Autonomous Decision Making

Medium
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
75% confidence
Finding

Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

## Verification

Never trust "done" without checking:
- **Code:** Run tests, check syntax
- **Files:** Verify they exist and have content
- **Data:** Spot-check 2-3 items

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The markdown instructs the operator to kill a session and log the last known state, then retry the task, but it does not warn that terminating a running session may discard in-progress work or that logging state may capture sensitive information. Under the markdown-specific warning requirement, this is a safety-relevant behavior affecting user data and system integrity that should be disclosed.
