deployment-engineer

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a plain deployment-engineering guidance skill with no bundled code, persistence, or hidden data handling, though users should apply it carefully around production systems.

Use this skill when you want help designing or improving deployment pipelines. Because deployment work can touch production systems, secrets, DNS, traffic routing, and rollback behavior, review proposed changes before applying them and require explicit approval for production-affecting actions.

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 activates on a broad phrase ('When invoked') without defining explicit trigger conditions, scope boundaries, or authorization checks. In an agentic environment, this ambiguity can cause the skill to run in unintended contexts and act on deployment systems or pipeline state too eagerly, increasing the chance of unsafe automation or misuse.
