Security audit

Contradiction Detector

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill has a legitimate audit purpose, but it broadly inspects multi-agent instruction, memory, user, cron, skill, and hook content without clear user scoping or redaction controls.

Install only if you are comfortable with the invoking agent reading multiple agents' instruction files, memories, user preference files, cron prompts, skills, and hooks. Prefer running it on a narrow, user-approved set of agents and avoid copying secrets, personal data, or unrelated prompt content into reports.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
  • 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

Finding

Skill contains patterns that could indirectly extract system prompts through rephrasing, translation, summarization, or side-channel techniques.

### Step 1 — Discovery

Enumerate every instruction source: all agents, their workspace files (AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, HEARTBEAT.md, MEMORY.md, IDENTITY.md, USER.md), all cron jobs with inline prompts, all installed skills, and any hook scripts.

Finding

The text uses a language-specific example, contrasting a SOUL.md specification of Hebrew with AGENTS.md examples in English. Because the policy requires avoiding forced language or locale without user opt-in, this wording can implicitly endorse a locale constraint without stating that user choice or justification is required.
