System Resource Monitor

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill only reports basic local system resource status using a small shell script, with no evidence of persistence, data exfiltration, or destructive behavior.

Install this only if you want the agent to answer system health questions by running a local resource-report script. The main thing to watch is accidental invocation from broad phrases like "system status" or "server health," but the observed script is read-only and limited to basic machine metrics.

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 usage section advertises very broad trigger phrases such as "system status," "resource usage," and "server health," which are common natural-language requests that may collide with unrelated user intents. Because invocation of this skill leads to execution of a local shell script, overly generic triggers increase the chance of unintended activation and unnecessary command execution in contexts where the user did not explicitly request this specific skill.
