Render Deploy

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a clearly disclosed Render deployment helper that uses expected repo, Render, and optional local-memory access for its stated purpose.

Install this only if you want an agent to help operate Render deployments. Keep activation limited to explicit Render deployment requests unless you intentionally want broader deployment assistance, and review any service creation, environment variable update, git commit, push, or deployment action before it runs.

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 setup guidance explicitly asks whether the skill should activate for every deployment request or only when Render is explicit, leaving activation boundaries undecided at runtime. In an agent skill, ambiguous activation can cause the skill to engage on unrelated deployment tasks, leading to unintended access to repositories, environment details, or deployment actions beyond the user's intended scope.
