Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a plain network-engineering guidance skill with no executable code, but users should keep real network changes behind explicit approval.

Install only if you want an agent to help with network design and operations. For live routing, firewall, DNS, VPN, load-balancer, or cloud-network changes, require a proposed change plan, approval, maintenance-window check, and rollback plan before allowing execution.

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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • 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 explicitly instructs the agent to 'implement solutions' after analysis, but provides no requirement to obtain explicit user approval, present a change plan, or warn about disruptive effects. In a network-engineering context, autonomous changes to routing, firewall rules, VPNs, DNS, or load balancers can cause outages, traffic interception, loss of connectivity, or weakened security if acted on prematurely or on incomplete context.
