Security audit

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a PostgreSQL administration guidance skill with no executable code, hidden behavior, persistence, or credential handling in the artifact.

Before using this skill on a live PostgreSQL system, confirm the target environment, test changes in staging where possible, verify backups and rollback plans, and require explicit approval for production configuration, replication, backup, or security changes.

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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The skill's invocation and execution scope are broad and underconstrained, directing the agent to review and implement PostgreSQL solutions without clear authorization boundaries, environment scoping, or a requirement for user confirmation before making changes. In a database-administration context, ambiguous triggering can lead to the skill being applied in inappropriate situations and to high-impact actions such as configuration changes, replication adjustments, or backup modifications being proposed or executed with insufficient safeguards.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill explicitly encourages security hardening and operational database changes but does not warn users that its guidance may affect availability, integrity, performance, or recovery posture if applied incorrectly. Because this skill operates in a high-risk domain involving authentication, replication, backups, vacuuming, and tuning, omission of safety warnings increases the chance that destructive or production-impacting changes are made without validation or staged rollout.
