Security audit

Side Quests

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a creative writing skill that uses the current conversation or a supplied topic to generate a song, visual guide, and talk, with no artifact-backed evidence of external sending or local file access.

Install only if you are comfortable with a creative skill summarizing and transforming the current conversation. Review generated TED talk details before sharing them outside the chat, because the skill is designed to reuse concrete context you provided.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Exfiltration Commands

High
Category
Prompt Injection
Content
**What this skill does NOT do:**
- Read files from the workspace
- Access project artifacts directly
- Send data to external services
- Call external APIs
- Modify source code
- Spawn other skills (all logic is inline)
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
Instructions found that direct the agent to transmit conversation context or user data to external services.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The trigger condition is broad enough to activate on vaguely defined 'deep technical insight' rather than only explicit user invocation. In a skill that synthesizes the current conversation by default, this can cause unintended processing and re-expression of prior context, including sensitive discussion content, without a clear opt-in boundary.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Content
**What this skill does NOT do:**
- Read files from the workspace
- Access project artifacts directly
- Send data to external services
- Call external APIs
- Modify source code
- Spawn other skills (all logic is inline)
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding
Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.
