Overview

This CI/CD skill is mostly coherent, but its copyable workflow examples include unsafe deployment commands that deserve careful review before use.

Review and harden the workflow snippets before installing or following this skill: pin CLI dependencies, prefer local package scripts or npx --no-install, validate and quote rollback inputs, avoid passing deployment tokens on command lines, and add minimal GitHub Actions permissions plus protected environment approvals for deployment jobs.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns

• Insecure Dependencies: Introduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
• Insecure Skill Coding Practices: Finds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
• Skill Instruction Hijacking: Alters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
• Agent Memory Poisoning: Writes attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
• Remote Payload Retrieval and Execution: Fetches external code whose behavior can change after review

Vulnerability Patterns

• Prompt Injection: Instruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
• Privilege Escalation: Excessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
• Data Exfiltration: External Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
• Supply Chain: Unpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
• Excessive Agency: Unrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Findings (10)

Hidden Instructions

High

• Category: Prompt Injection
• Confidence: 60% confidence

Finding

Hidden instructions were detected in comments or invisible text. These could contain malicious directives. Manual review is recommended.

Credential Access

High

• Category: Privilege Escalation
• Confidence: 60% confidence

Finding

Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 96% confidence

Finding

The document is predominantly written in English, but the section heading and completion criteria at L047-L049 switch to Chinese without any opt-in, translation note, or explanation of a region-specific audience. This creates a natural-language locale policy issue because the skill effectively forces a specific language for part of its instructions.

Medium

• Category: MCP Rug Pull
• Confidence: 70% confidence

Finding

npx commands without a version suffix (e.g. @1.0.0) create a rug-pull risk if the upstream server is compromised and publishes a malicious update.
