Og Board Manager

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward OpenGoat task-board helper with disclosed task-management actions and no hidden code or persistence mechanism.

Install this if you want agents to manage OpenGoat tasks. Be aware it can create and update task-board records, so agents should use it only for work-tracking actions and keep assignments within the stated reportee/self scope.

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
  • Rogue AgentSelf-Modification, Session Persistence
  • 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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The description says 'Use when you need to delegate, track, or review work,' which overlaps with common, everyday requests and does not narrowly scope the contexts in which this skill should activate. It provides no explicit trigger constraints or negative examples to distinguish board-management tasks from general project assistance.

Session Persistence

Medium
Category
Rogue Agent
Content
## Self-assigning (do the work yourself)

If the task is small enough and you have the tools and context to complete it efficiently, do not delegate. Create a task for yourself so the work is still tracked.

Rules:
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding
Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
