Security audit

Network-AI

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed local orchestration helper that writes coordination and audit state locally, with no artifact-backed evidence of hidden network, shell, destructive, or exfiltration behavior.

Install only if you want a local file-based multi-agent coordination layer. Keep the skill's data directory private, avoid putting secrets or PII in permission justifications or project context, and do not treat its advisory grant tokens as real authentication for databases, payments, email, or exports.

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
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • MCP Least PrivilegeUnderdeclared Capability, Wildcard Permission, Missing Permission Declaration
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The script performs multiple filesystem writes: it creates directories, writes the blackboard markdown file, lock files, pending change files, and archive files. This is intended functionality, but it is still a real write capability and becomes security-relevant if the skill's declared permissions do not authorize local file modification.

Instruction Override

High
Category
Prompt Injection
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

This pattern attempts to override system instructions or ignore safety constraints. Without LLM analysis, manual review is recommended.

Autonomous Decision Making

Finding

Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

Unrestricted Tool Access

Medium
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
85% confidence
Finding

Skill grants unrestricted tool access without appropriate constraints. An agent with unfettered tool access can perform arbitrary actions including file modification, network requests, and code execution.

| **A.I.G T02** Agent Memory Poisoning (`context_manager.py`) | ~~High~~ Resolved | `update`/`init` stored values without validation, and `_validate_context()` only scanned goals, decisions, and banned approaches, so `project`, `stack`, `milestones`, and `agents` could carry injected instructions into every session | Fixed in v5.15.4: write-time validation with type checks, recursive scanning of every field and key, role-delimiter patterns, size/nesting/count caps, and delimited single-line `inject` output (see ASI06 row) |
| **SkillSpector** Tp4 Description-Behavior Mismatch (`check_permission.py`) | ~~High~~ Resolved | Docstring said the script "evaluates permission requests for accessing sensitive resources", which reads as real access to databases or payments | Fixed in v5.15.4: docstring and `--help` state it is an advisory local scorer over abstract labels that holds no credentials and touches no real resource |
| **SkillSpector** Intent-Code Divergence (`--confirm-high-risk` help text) | ~~Low~~ Resolved | Help text listed only PAYMENTS and DATABASE, while `HIGH_RISK_RESOURCES` also contains FILE_EXPORT | Fixed in v5.15.4: help text, comments, and the AST03 table list PAYMENTS, DATABASE, and FILE_EXPORT |
| **SkillSpector** Undeclared Tool Scope / Unrestricted Tool Access | ~~Medium~~ Resolved | No `allowed-tools` declaration, and Setup said "run any script directly" | Fixed in v5.15.4: `allowed-tools` limits the scope to the six bundled scripts plus `Read`; Setup text scoped to the bundled scripts |
| **SkillSpector** Autonomous Decision Making | ~~Medium~~ Resolved | Frontmatter declared npm-only `shell_exec` and `auto_approve` runtime capabilities that are not in this bundle | Fixed in v5.15.4: capabilities declare `shell_exec: none`, `tcp_port: none`, `autonomous_actions: none`; npm-only runtime details removed from the bundle manifest |
