blackboard-coordinator

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a documentation-only coordination skill with broad activation wording but no evidence of hidden code, data theft, persistence, or unsafe automatic actions.

Use this skill for explicit blackboard-style coordination tasks. Because its activation terms are broad, users should invoke it deliberately for complex collaborative analysis rather than routine or sensitive workflows where a simpler single-agent response is enough.

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 skill description is very broad ('blackboard pattern, collaborative intelligence, system overview, blackboard levels, session initialization') and does not define clear triggering conditions or limits. In agentic systems, overly permissive activation boundaries can cause the skill to be invoked in contexts where it aggregates, coordinates, or reframes tasks unnecessarily, increasing the chance of inappropriate delegation, context leakage between sub-agents, or unsafe use in sensitive workflows.
