Security Review

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This instruction-only skill is a coherent pre-install security review workflow, with notable but purpose-aligned use of a sub-agent, web research, local logs, and persistent review memory.

This skill appears safe to install as an instruction-only review workflow. Before using it, make sure you want a strict review-before-install policy, update the hardcoded Windows path and 'Marcus' approval wording if they do not apply to you, and avoid including secrets in package review prompts.

ASI01: Agent Goal Hijack
Low
What this means

The agent may delay or refuse package installation until the review is completed and approval is given.

Why it was flagged

The skill deliberately changes the install workflow by requiring a review gate before any external package install. This is disclosed and aligned with the security-review purpose, but it can override a user's normal install flow.

Skill content
Run this skill BEFORE installing ANY external package, tool, CLI, npm module, Python library, browser extension, or third-party integration. No exceptions.
Recommendation

Use this skill only if you want a strict pre-install security gate, and customize the approval language for the actual user rather than 'Marcus' if needed.

ASI07: Insecure Inter-Agent Communication
Low
What this means

If the user includes secrets in the package description, install command, or source URL, those details could be exposed to the spawned review workflow.

Why it was flagged

The review is delegated to a spawned sub-agent/model. That is expected for this skill, but package names, install commands, source URLs, and review context may cross an agent/model boundary.

Skill content
Spawns a security review sub-agent ... sessions_spawn with model: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6, task: [security review prompt below]
Recommendation

Do not include tokens, private credentials, or secret URLs in review inputs; pass only the minimum package information needed for the assessment.

#
ASI06: Memory and Context Poisoning
Low
What this means

Malicious or misleading package content could bias the review if treated as instructions, and stale memory entries could influence later install decisions.

Why it was flagged

The skill reviews untrusted remote source content and persists review verdicts into memory. This is purpose-aligned, but fetched package content and stored verdicts should not be over-trusted without context.

Skill content
SOURCE CODE ANALYSIS (USE web_fetch on raw GitHub files) ... MEMORY.md updated with verdict after each review
Recommendation

Treat fetched source and web pages strictly as untrusted evidence, add explicit prompt-injection resistance to the review prompt, and store dated, minimal verdicts that require re-review when packages change.
