Memory Write

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a memory-writing tool that openly stores work logs and raw chat archives, but its automatic plaintext retention is broad and lacks clear user controls.

Review this skill carefully before installing. It is not showing exfiltration or destructive behavior, but it is designed to automatically preserve daily activity and raw chat records locally. Use it only if you are comfortable with sensitive conversation content being written to persistent plaintext memory files, and pair it with clear retention, deletion, and redaction practices.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • 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

Finding

The skill explicitly states that it performs automated writes and archival without human triggering, and it also defines persistent storage locations and retention behavior for daily logs and chat archives. Without a user-facing warning, consent gate, or clear disclosure of what data is stored and retained, this can cause unintended persistence of sensitive operational or personal information.
