Security audit

Pyramid Principle

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a plain Markdown strategy-framework skill with no code execution, persistence, credential use, or data access behavior.

This skill is reasonable to install if you want structured strategy or communication help. Expect it to shape responses into a consulting-style Pyramid Principle format; if that is too intrusive, narrow the trigger wording before use.

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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The description is broad enough that an agent may invoke this skill in many generic strategic-analysis contexts, including cases where the user did not explicitly request this framework. Over-broad activation increases the chance of incorrect tool/skill selection, causing unintended prompt shaping and potentially steering downstream reasoning inappropriately.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The trigger list contains ambiguous, high-frequency terms such as 'logic' and 'structured thinking' that can appear in many unrelated conversations. This can cause accidental activation, leading the agent to apply this skill where it is unnecessary or counterproductive, which is a real quality and control risk even if it is not a direct code-execution issue.
