skytekx

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This appears to be a simple, disclosed cloud-monitoring skill with an inert local script; the main caution is that its documentation mentions cloud credentials and alert changes without much operational guidance.

Install only if you are comfortable using it in a cloud-operations context. Review any future implementation before giving it cloud credentials, and require explicit approval before changing production alert rules or sending incident notifications.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The skill explicitly states that users can 'list, add, or modify alert rules' and that notifications may be sent to external systems like Slack, email, or PagerDuty, but it provides no warning about operational consequences or confirmation requirements. In a cloud operations context, silent alert-rule changes can disable monitoring, create alert fatigue, or trigger unintended outbound notifications, which can disrupt incident response and leak operational metadata.

Vague Triggers

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
86% confidence
Finding

The phrase "Invoke Skytekx when monitoring cloud resources, debugging incidents, or optimizing spend" describes activation in very broad terms without defining specific triggers, boundaries, or exclusion conditions. This can lead to unintended invocation because the listed situations are common and expansive operational activities rather than narrowly scoped trigger phrases.
