Security audit

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward Spring Boot engineering guidance skill with no hidden code, persistence, or data-access behavior.

Installers should still use normal review before letting the agent modify production deployment, CI/CD, or security configuration, but the skill itself is transparent and purpose-aligned.

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 invocation section describes broad actions like querying context, reviewing architecture, and implementing solutions, but it does not define when the skill should or should not be invoked, what inputs are required, or what boundaries apply. In an agentic environment, this ambiguity can cause overbroad activation and unintended code generation or architectural changes in unrelated contexts, increasing the chance of unsafe or unauthorized actions.
