Security audit

pareto-optimization

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Pareto optimization reference with examples, and its only disk-writing behavior is a visible CSV export example.

Review the example before running it, especially the CSV output path, because it may create or overwrite pareto_models.csv in the current directory. No evidence of hidden execution, exfiltration, persistence, or privilege use was found.

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
  • 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

Finding

The skill includes an example that saves results to 'pareto_models.csv', which modifies user data on disk. The surrounding markdown does not warn that the example performs a file write or mention the output side effect.
