Security audit

Ephemeral Engineering

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed engineering-tool authoring workflow with strong verification warnings and no executable install or hidden behavior.

Install only if you want Codex to help create engineering calculation/report HTML tools. Treat generated tools as drafts: the skill itself requires engineer verification, a digit-for-digit hand calculation check, and keeping the draft watermark until verification is complete.

Finding
The invocation text is intentionally very broad, directing use for many loosely related requests and even when the user does not explicitly name the skill. This can cause the agent to route ambiguous prompts into a powerful code-generating engineering workflow, increasing the chance of inappropriate activation, mistaken scope selection, or unsafe deliverable generation without sufficient user confirmation.
