Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk
Overview
This is a non-executable specification for privacy-preserving coordination, with its data limits and non-goals stated clearly.
Before installing, understand that this is a conceptual coordination pattern rather than a runnable tool. If someone implements it, verify that the implementation preserves the stated limits: no identities, no private content summaries, no broad logging, no autonomous network writes, and no use for analytics, reputation, tracking, markets, or permanent ledgers.
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
