Checkpoint Hardening

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a coherent Check Point hardening API skill with no local execution or persistence, but users should treat submitted configuration details and identifiers as sensitive.

Before installing, confirm you are comfortable sending hardening requirements, session identifiers, timestamps, and optional user identifiers to the listed third-party API. Review and test any generated Check Point configuration before applying it to live systems.

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

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

This markdown file describes generation of hardened configurations for security appliances and emphasizes quick application of templates, but it does not warn users that applying the output could affect access control, logging, encryption, or service availability. For a security-affecting skill, the description should disclose that generated configurations may impact system behavior and require validation before use.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
82% confidence
Finding

The skill directs users to an external API endpoint, meaning hardening inputs and session metadata may be transmitted to a third-party service outside the local trust boundary. In a security-configuration context, those inputs can reveal infrastructure controls, compliance posture, and internal identifiers, increasing sensitivity beyond a generic external call.

Missing User Warnings

Confidence
82% confidence
Finding

The markdown shows sessionId, userId, and timestamp values and later states they are used for request tracking and audit logging, but it provides no warning about submitting identifying or audit-related metadata to the API. Because the skill description includes data that may be user- or session-linked, a brief disclosure about transmission and logging would improve user awareness.

Vague Triggers

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

This is a manifest file, so vague-trigger checks apply. The summary text "Generate" is overly broad and does not specify what action or context should invoke this skill, which could overlap with many unrelated user requests and makes activation boundaries unclear.
