Security audit

Charon Proposer

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a scoped memory-authoring helper that can propose durable memory changes but cannot approve or merge them itself.

Install this only if you want the agent to create durable memory proposals for a Charon/Lethe project. Review what it stores, because durable memory can affect future work, but the artifact includes clear boundaries: no credentials, no private chain-of-thought, owned refs only, and no self-review or self-merge.

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
