Security audit

Governance Explainer

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a plain-language DAO governance explainer with no execution, persistence, credential access, or data-moving behavior, though two trigger phrases are broader than ideal.

Installers should understand that this skill is meant for DAO governance interpretation, not general legal, compliance, or permission advice. The publisher should narrow the generic triggers to DAO-specific language to reduce accidental invocation in unrelated contexts.

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 phrases "what is allowed" and "is this permitted" are broad enough to match generic compliance, policy, or permissions questions well outside DAO governance. This can cause unintended invocation of the skill in unrelated contexts, leading to confusing or misleading governance-specific answers being applied where they do not fit.
