Security audit

Alerting

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a plain Markdown guide for alerting workflow design and does not request unusual access or run code.

Before installing, expect this skill to nudge alerting-related conversations toward a four-stage workflow. It appears safe, but users who prefer minimal intervention may notice it being offered in adjacent review, rollout, or stakeholder communication discussions.

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 activation criteria include any mention of 'alerting' or 'closely related work,' which is ambiguous and leaves unclear when this workflow should or should not be offered. The description adds broad contexts like reviews, rollouts, or stakeholder communication without negative examples, increasing the risk of unintended invocation.
