The Agent Sims

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a non-executable, clearly described planned social-simulation integration, though users should understand it would use SOUL.md profile data with a remote world server if built out.

Before installing a future functional version, review what SOUL.md fields are sent to the world server, whether registration is opt-in, and whether you can redact or disable sensitive profile data and scheduled autonomous activity.

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
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
The skill advertises a social simulation but does not clearly warn that it will parse SOUL.md and register agent-derived profiles with a central world server API. SOUL.md may contain sensitive behavioral instructions, identity details, or other private metadata, so undisclosed extraction and remote transmission can create privacy, data-governance, and prompt-exfiltration risk.
