Security audit

Commit Message Writer

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill only provides commit and PR wording guidance, with a minor note that it asks the agent to remember lightweight usage categories over time.

This appears safe to install for commit-message help. Be aware that it may try to keep simple counts of whether prior inputs were diffs, descriptions, or snippets; avoid relying on that behavior for private analytics, and paste only code or diffs you are comfortable sharing with the agent.

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

Finding

The trigger 'Any git diff or code change needing a message' is broad and lacks boundaries or exclusion conditions. In a markdown skill description, this can cause unintended invocation because many ordinary development conversations involve code changes without explicitly requesting this skill.
