Frontend Design Anthropic

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is an instruction-only frontend design skill with no executable payload, persistence, credential handling, or hidden data movement.

Install this if you want a skill that strongly steers frontend work toward distinctive visual design. Be aware it may activate for a broad range of UI, styling, or web artifact requests, so users who prefer narrower routing may want the activation wording tightened.

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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The skill description is broad enough to trigger on a wide range of ordinary frontend, web, styling, and design-related requests, which can cause the agent to invoke this skill more often than intended. Overbroad activation increases attack surface by allowing a powerful code-generating skill to engage in loosely related contexts, potentially bypassing more specialized or safer routing logic.
