Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a disclosed coding workflow for feature changes; its trigger wording is broad, but the artifacts do not show hidden, persistent, destructive, or data-stealing behavior.

Install this only if you want a general workflow to activate for many code-change requests. Be aware that generic requests like bug fixes or optimization may invoke it, so users who prefer narrower skill activation should adjust the trigger wording.

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

Finding

The skill declares very broad trigger phrases such as 'fix a bug', 'optimize xxx', and 'any request involving feature modifications', which can cause it to activate for a wide range of unrelated or sensitive requests. Over-broad activation increases the chance that this workflow overrides safer or more specialized skills, leading to unnecessary code modification behavior without sufficient scoping or user intent validation.
