Community Onboarding

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple community onboarding skill with broad activation wording but no hidden code, data access, persistence, or privileged behavior.

Before installing, be aware that this skill may activate on general onboarding or getting-started requests and steer the conversation toward $NEURONS community guidance. It is otherwise low risk based on the inspected artifacts.

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
91% confidence
Finding

The 'When to Use' section includes generic triggers such as 'A new user arrives' and 'Someone asks “what is this / how do I start?”', which overlap with common everyday support language. The file does not provide narrower scope, explicit constraints, or negative examples to distinguish when this skill should activate versus other help or onboarding skills.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The trigger list includes generic phrases such as "onboarding," "new member," "how do I start," and "getting started," which are likely to match ordinary user requests outside the intended scope. This can cause the skill to activate unexpectedly, intercept unrelated conversations, and steer users into token/community guidance when they did not request it.
