Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a small sidebar-design guidance skill with no executable code, network behavior, persistence, or hidden high-impact access.

Installers should understand that this skill may activate on generic sidebar-related wording, so it is best suited for users who frequently design or audit blog, documentation, or content-page sidebars. Its optional reading of project context files is purpose-aligned, but those files should not contain secrets.

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 skill’s invocation text is very broad and matches generic terms like “sidebar” or “side panel,” which can cause the agent to activate in contexts unrelated to sidebar design. This is dangerous because over-triggering can route users into the wrong skill, producing irrelevant guidance, suppressing better-matched skills, and reducing reliability of agent behavior.
