Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple frontend-development guidance skill with no executable code, persistence, credentials, or hidden data access.

Installers should understand this skill may be selected for a wide range of frontend-related prompts. That is a routing precision issue, not evidence of malicious behavior; review or narrow the description if you want tighter activation boundaries.

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 manifest description uses a long, broad list of frontend-related keywords as activation criteria without clear scope boundaries, exclusions, or trigger conditions. This can cause the skill to be invoked for loosely related requests, increasing the chance of misrouting, unintended precedence over narrower skills, or opportunistic prompt capture in multi-skill environments.
