Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a plain Markdown guidance skill for robots.txt work, with no executable code, persistence, or hidden data movement.

Installers should treat this as low-risk SEO guidance. Be aware it may activate on broad crawler-related wording, so verify whether indexing, metadata, sitemap, or general crawlability advice would be more appropriate for the task.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Finding

The trigger list is very broad and includes many generic SEO phrases such as 'allow/disallow,' 'user-agent,' and 'search engine crawling,' which can cause the skill to activate in conversations that are only loosely related to robots.txt. Over-broad routing can misdirect the agent into applying the wrong guidance, suppressing more appropriate skills and leading to incorrect operational recommendations.
