Security Posture Maturity

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward security maturity assessment API, but users should treat submitted assessment details and identifiers as sensitive third-party data sharing.

Before installing, assume submitted assessment scores and identifiers are sent to a third-party service. Use pseudonymous session IDs, omit userId when possible, and avoid including organization names or sensitive internal details unless your policies allow that sharing.

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

  • 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

Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The skill documents sending session identifiers, user identifiers, timestamps, and detailed security maturity data to a third-party API without any privacy, data handling, retention, or sensitivity warning. Because the payload reflects an organization's security weaknesses across multiple domains, transmitting it externally can expose sensitive operational intelligence and increase privacy, compliance, and targeting risk if mishandled or intercepted.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
85% confidence
Finding

The skill relies on an external API endpoint, which creates a real data egress path from the agent environment to a third-party service. In this specific context, the danger is elevated because the transmitted content is not generic telemetry but a structured assessment of an organization's security maturity, which could reveal weaknesses useful to attackers or create compliance concerns if shared without clear disclosure and controls.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

This is a manifest/config-type file, so vague-trigger checks apply. The endpoint is described only as generating a comprehensive security maturity assessment, with no narrowing language, explicit activation phrases, or exclusion conditions to clarify when the skill should be invoked versus ignored.

Missing User Warnings

Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The schema accepts sessionId and optional userId fields, which are identifiers that may be sensitive or linkable to a user session, yet the spec provides no notice, minimization guidance, or privacy constraints. In an agent context, this increases the risk of unnecessary collection and transmission of user-linked metadata to the service, enabling privacy leakage or downstream correlation if mishandled.
