Scaling Strategy

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a plain business-scaling guide with somewhat broad activation wording, but it does not run code, request sensitive access, or persist changes.

Before installing, understand that the skill may appear for general hiring or revenue-growth prompts, so choose a more specific skill if you need legal, tax, HR compliance, or financial advice. Security-wise, the inspected artifact is limited to static guidance.

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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The trigger description contains broad phrases like "hiring," "build a team," and "grow revenue" that can match many routine business conversations unrelated to scaling strategy. Overly broad activation increases the chance this skill is invoked in unintended contexts, causing prompt hijacking of user workflow, irrelevant guidance, or suppression of a more appropriate skill.
