Azure AKS Hardening

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward external API wrapper for generating AKS hardening guidance, with no local code execution or persistence, but users should avoid sending sensitive identifiers or infrastructure details unnecessarily.

Before installing, treat this as a third-party API integration: send only the AKS hardening options needed for generation, avoid real personal identifiers unless required, and review the provider's trust, pricing, and data-handling practices for production or regulated environments.

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

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The skill directs users to an external API endpoint operated outside the local agent boundary, which creates a real data egress path. Because the tool accepts potentially sensitive hardening requirements, user identifiers, and operational metadata, invoking this endpoint could transmit infrastructure details to a third-party service without any documented trust, authentication, retention, or data-handling guarantees.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

This markdown file shows a request payload containing sessionId, userId, and timestamp, which are identifiers and audit-related data, but the skill description does not warn users that these values may be logged, stored, or used for attribution. For markdown files, SQP-2 applies when the description omits warnings about behaviors that could affect user data or privacy.

Vague Triggers

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
82% confidence
Finding

This is a manifest file, so vague-trigger checks apply. The OpenAPI spec defines a generic POST operation 'Generate Hardening' but provides no natural-language constraints about when this skill should or should not be invoked, which can make activation scope ambiguous in systems that infer invocation from manifest descriptions.
