SwiftButler

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward SwiftButler CLI guide, with disclosed source-formatting behavior and no hidden code or persistence.

Before using recursive reindent or distribute commands, run dry-run where available and review version-control diffs, because these commands can rewrite or create Swift source files by design.

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

Finding

The skill recommends butler reindent as a normal workflow and shows multiple in-place examples, but it does not clearly warn that the command rewrites source files unless --dry-run is used. In an agent setting, this can cause unintended modification of user code or large-scale workspace churn when the user only expected analysis or preview behavior.
