Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a markdown-only coordination skill whose delegation behavior is disclosed and aligned with its stated purpose, with some scope caution around broad activation.

Use this for genuinely complex work where delegation is helpful. For sensitive projects, keep an eye on what context is passed to specialist agents and prefer single-agent handling for small or confidential tasks.

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 can cause the agent to activate for many loosely related requests involving coordination, decomposition, or enterprise patterns. Overly permissive activation increases the chance this skill is selected inappropriately, which can lead to unnecessary delegation behavior, expanded context sharing across sub-agents, and reduced user control over task scope.
