prompt-engineer

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a prompt-engineering guidance skill with no executable code, installation hooks, credential use, persistence, or data exfiltration behavior.

Before installing, understand that this skill may activate for a wide range of prompt or AI-system design requests and will tend to show full generated prompt text. Review generated prompts before reuse and avoid asking it to include secrets or private operational details in prompts.

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 guidance is broad enough to match many ordinary requests related to prompts, AI features, or system prompts, which can cause the skill to activate outside narrow intended scenarios. Over-broad activation increases the chance that this skill's strong behavioral instructions—especially the requirement to always reveal complete prompt text—override safer or more context-appropriate handling in unrelated tasks.
