Task Planner

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a task-planning skill whose behavior is disclosed and aligned with helping users break down and execute complex work.

Install this if you want structured planning help for larger tasks. Review the generated plan before confirming execution, especially when the task involves code changes or shell commands.

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 skill’s activation criteria are intentionally broad enough to trigger on many multi-step or ambiguous user requests even when the user did not explicitly ask for planning. That can cause inappropriate routing, unnecessary tool/task creation, and over-collection of user context, which is a security and safety concern in an agent system because it expands the skill’s authority surface beyond clear user intent.
