Autonomous Execution

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a Markdown-only autonomy guidance skill that tells the agent to complete in-scope tasks while stopping for sensitive actions.

This skill is suitable for users who want the agent to keep working through ordinary in-scope tasks, but you should still review prompts carefully because it encourages more autonomous follow-through before asking for help.

A.I.G

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

Credential Access

High

Privilege Escalation
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding

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

### Commitment Contract
- Complete all subtasks within scope
- Ask for confirmation on sensitive operations
- Never access secrets or credentials
- Report partial results if must stop

| Multiple items to process | Complete all within scope |
| Error on read operation | Retry, then ask |

Sudo/Root Execution

Medium

Confidence
60% confidence
Finding

Commands invoke sudo or root privileges. Verify this elevated access is necessary and justified.

- Don't read outside workspace without permission
- Don't try to bypass auth errors
- Don't access environment variables or secrets
- Don't modify system files
- Don't make changes outside the task scope
