RDK Model Zoo Demo Review

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a scoped review checklist for RDK Model Zoo demos and does not include code execution, persistence, credential access, or hidden data handling.

Installers should expect this skill to read repository files related to the demo under review and to produce compliance findings; provide a clear repository and sample path to keep the review focused.

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 default prompt is broad and underspecified: it tells the agent to 'review this RDK Model Zoo demo' without explicit limits on what inputs, repositories, branches, files, or actions are in scope. In an agent setting, vague activation prompts can cause overreach, inconsistent behavior, or make prompt-injection from untrusted demo content more effective because the model has little built-in guidance on boundaries and allowed operations.
