Github Manage Security Alerts
Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk
Overview
This skill is a disclosed GitHub security-alert management guide that handles sensitive alerts and possible alert updates, but its authority is purpose-aligned and user-directed.
Install only if you want an agent to help inspect and possibly update GitHub security alerts. Use a minimally scoped GitHub token, keep secret values redacted unless truly necessary, review bulk updates carefully, and run dry runs before dismissing or resolving alerts.
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
- 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
- Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
