Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a prompt-only workflow skill that encourages more persistent, evidence-based task execution without adding code, persistence, credential access, or hidden actions.

Install this if you want an agent workflow that pushes harder on complex tasks. Be aware that it may make agents more proactive and persistent, so use caution for high-stakes medical, legal, financial, or underspecified tasks where extra action without clarification could be inappropriate.

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 description says to use the skill for broad situations like 'coding, debugging, research, planning, analysis, and other multi-step tasks' and for feelings such as when the agent seems 'too quick to conclude.' This leaves activation scope very open-ended and likely to collide with many ordinary tasks without clear boundaries or exclusion conditions.
