Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple cloud architecture guidance skill with broad activation wording but no executable or hidden behavior.

Before installing, be aware this skill may be selected for broad cloud-provider mentions and may generate infrastructure templates for review. Treat generated Terraform or CloudFormation as advisory and review it before applying it to any cloud account.

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 and keyed to generic cloud vendor names, which can cause the agent to invoke this skill for a wide range of loosely related prompts. Over-broad activation increases the chance of misrouting requests, overshadowing more specialized skills, and exposing users to architecture guidance or infrastructure template generation in contexts where a narrower tool should be used.
