Safe Exec Wrapper

• Outcome: Review
• Latest audit: Sep 10, 2026 · 10:04 AM UTC
• Version: 1.0.0

Overview

The skill is mostly coherent as a command-output safety wrapper, but its own script includes an under-documented caller-controlled UUID path that can weaken the protection it claims to provide.

Review this carefully before installing as a security control. It is not evidence of theft or malware, but users should avoid exposing or using the --uuid option with untrusted values and should not rely on the wrapper as making prompt injection impossible unless that path is removed or strictly validated.

Vulnerability Patterns

• Insecure Skill Coding Practices: Finds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
• Skill Instruction Hijacking: Alters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
• Agent Memory Poisoning: Writes attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
• Remote Payload Retrieval and Execution: Fetches external code whose behavior can change after review
• Embedded Malicious Code: Ships malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally

The value is not checked for canonical UUID syntax, length, newline characters, control characters, or delimiter syntax. Although the variable is quoted when passed to `printf`, quoting only prevents shell word splitting and ...[truncated 2740 chars]

Remediation

View remediation

&2 exit 2 fi ``` 3. Explicitly reject newline characters, carriage returns, other control characters, and marker delimiters even if the accepted identifier format changes later. 4. Fail closed if no secure random UUID generator is available instead of proceeding with an empty or malformed identifier. 5. Do not describe delimiter framing as making prompt injection impossible. Document it as a defense-in-depth mechanism because an LLM may still follow malicious instructions located inside a correctly framed untrusted block. 6. Add automated tests covering multiline identifiers, forged boundary strings, empty `--uuid` values, malformed UUIDs, predictable identifiers, and failures of every UUID-generation fallback. ]]>

Vulnerability Patterns

• Data Exfiltration: External Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
• Prompt Injection: Instruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
• Privilege Escalation: Excessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
• Supply Chain: Unpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
• Excessive Agency: Unrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Finding

Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.
