Exploratory Test Charter

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill only guides the agent to write exploratory testing charters and does not request system access, credentials, persistence, or external execution.

This appears safe to install for help drafting exploratory testing charters. Review any assumptions it makes from brief prompts, especially for product risk and testing scope, but the artifact does not show behavior that would access or change your system.

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 description says to use the skill when asked to 'plan exploratory testing' or 'design a testing session,' which are relatively broad natural-language triggers rather than a clearly bounded invocation condition. The file does not provide explicit exclusions or negative examples to clarify when similar general testing requests should not activate this skill.
