Software Architect

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a plain software-architecture guidance document and does not request tools, data access, persistence, or code execution.

Install this if you want the agent to apply concise architecture-review heuristics. It can influence design recommendations, but the inspected artifact does not add executable behavior or request sensitive access.

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
  • Memory PoisoningPersistent Context Injection, Context Window Stuffing, Memory Manipulation
  • 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

Memory Manipulation

High
Category
Memory Poisoning
Content
- Design for failure — everything fails eventually, handle it gracefully
- Timeouts on all external calls — hung connections cascade into outages
- Circuit breakers prevent cascade failures — fail fast, recover gradually
- Idempotency for retries — duplicate messages shouldn't corrupt state
- Graceful degradation over total failure — partial functionality beats error pages

Finding
Skill manipulates agent memory, state, or stored context. Memory corruption can alter personality, override safety rules, or cause unpredictable behavior.
