Security audit

Terminal UX Orchestrator

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a terminal UX design guide with clearly scoped instructions and no executable code, persistence, credential handling, or hidden data movement.

Installers should expect this skill to influence how an agent handles CLI/TUI UX work, including recommending terminal libraries and optional current-doc checks. It does not itself run commands or access sensitive data, but users should still confirm that any implementation changes the agent proposes stay within their project constraints.

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 uses a very broad trigger phrase ('Use $terminal-ux-orchestrator to audit or redesign a CLI/TUI flow...') without clear boundaries on when the skill should or should not be invoked. This can cause over-invocation in loosely related terminal or shell tasks, increasing the chance that the agent applies the skill outside its intended scope and follows inappropriate guidance for non-UX requests.
