Aruba Cx Hardening

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill appears to be a legitimate Aruba switch configuration generator, but it sends security-related requests to a third-party API and presents generated network changes as production-ready without enough safety or privacy disclosure.

Review this skill carefully before installing. Do not send production secrets or sensitive topology details unless the API operator and data-handling terms are acceptable, and treat generated switch configurations as drafts that require engineering review, lab testing, version checks, and a rollback plan before use.

A.I.G

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

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill markets its output as 'validated' and 'ready-to-deploy' hardening configurations without warning that applying generated switch configs can disrupt management access, authentication, or network availability if they are incorrect or unsuitable for the target environment. In a network infrastructure context, omission of this warning can lead users to apply unreviewed changes directly to production switches, increasing the risk of lockout or outage.

Missing User Warnings

Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The API documentation describes collection of session identifiers, optional user identifiers, timestamps, and returns detailed device-hardening configuration content, but provides no privacy or data-handling notice. Because the generated content can reveal internal security controls and management settings, users are not informed how sensitive operational metadata and configuration artifacts are stored, retained, or shared.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
81% confidence
Finding

The skill references external API endpoints operated outside the local environment, which means user-supplied hardening options and resulting infrastructure configuration data may be transmitted to a third-party service. In this context, the data is security-sensitive because it concerns network hardening and can disclose management practices, making external transmission materially relevant to confidentiality and supply-chain risk.

Missing User Warnings

Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The request schema collects sessionId, optional userId, and timestamp, but the API description provides no disclosure of why these identifiers are needed, how they are stored, or how long they are retained. This creates unnecessary privacy and data-handling risk because consumers may send linkable identifiers without informed consent or minimization, and such metadata can become sensitive if logged or retained.

Vague Triggers

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
83% confidence
Finding

This is a manifest/config file, so vague-trigger checks apply. The operation is described only as generating Aruba CX switch hardening configuration files, but the spec does not document narrower invocation constraints, explicit trigger conditions, or negative examples that would clarify when this capability should or should not be used.
