Gratitude Journal

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple gratitude journal skill with disclosed local entry storage and no hidden code, network use, or privileged behavior.

Before installing, consider that gratitude entries may contain personal reflections and will be stored locally for search, streaks, and insights. The reviewed artifact does not show network sharing or hidden execution, but use it with entries you are comfortable keeping on this machine.

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 trigger phrase 'log gratitude' begins with the generic built-in command term 'log', which can create ambiguity in routing and cause the skill to intercept or be confused with broader logging functionality. In a journaling skill that stores user text, this overlap could lead to unintended activation, misdirected input, or accidental recording when a user intended a different logging command.
