Security audit

Dependency Autopsy

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a documentation-only dependency review skill with no hidden execution, persistence, or credential behavior found.

Install this only if you want the agent to analyze your dependency tree and package-health signals. Expect it to inspect dependency manifests and possibly discuss public package metadata, but the inspected artifact does not include code that installs software, changes files, sends data elsewhere, or persists 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 'When to Invoke' section lists general situations such as 'Monthly health check on existing dependencies' and 'When evaluating whether to upgrade or replace a library' without specifying exact trigger phrases, scope limits, or exclusion conditions. In a markdown skill description, this kind of broad activation guidance can overlap with common development conversations and makes it unclear when the skill should or should not activate.
