Database Manager

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward database-management guide, but users should be careful because database credentials and restore or migration commands can affect real data.

Install only if you intend to let the agent help with databases. Use least-privilege database accounts, avoid real credentials in shared terminals or logs, confirm the target database before restore/migrate/import commands, and test destructive operations outside production first.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Finding

The documentation advertises destructive operations such as restore, migrate, import, and backup-related overwrite flows without any caution about data loss, schema changes, rollback requirements, or verifying the target environment. In a database-management skill, users may copy these commands directly against production systems, increasing the chance of accidental integrity loss or service disruption.

Confidence

Finding

The skill includes examples for setting sensitive credentials in environment variables, including plaintext passwords and connection URIs, but does not warn that these values are secrets that may be exposed through shell history, logs, screenshots, or shared terminal sessions. While common in documentation, omitting handling guidance can still lead to credential leakage and unauthorized database access.
