Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward local permission-auditing utility and the scanner concerns appear to be false positives from example risk labels, not real privileged behavior.

This is appropriate to install if you want a small local helper for reviewing tool logs and permission lists. Treat its output as advisory because its risk scoring is simple and rule-based, and check the example paths if integrating it into a different skills directory layout.

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

Unrestricted Tool Access

Medium
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
80% 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.

Sudo/Root Execution

Medium
Category
Privilege Escalation
Confidence
60% confidence
Finding

Commands invoke sudo or root privileges. Verify this elevated access is necessary and justified.
