Axodus Backend Architecture

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple backend architecture guidance skill; its trigger metadata is malformed, but the artifacts do not show unsafe behavior.

This skill appears safe to install as backend design guidance, but the publisher should replace the malformed trigger metadata with explicit backend-architecture activation phrases to avoid unexpected invocation.

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 trigger configuration is effectively unconstrained: triggers: System.Object[] does not define concrete activation phrases, schemas, or limits for when this skill should run. In an agent environment, ambiguous activation can cause the skill to be invoked unexpectedly or too broadly, increasing the chance of misuse, unintended backend-design actions, or policy bypass through overly permissive routing.
