Automation Workflows 0.1.0

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a plain guidance-only automation playbook with some sensitive business-data examples that users should configure carefully.

Before installing or using this skill, treat its example workflows as templates only: review OAuth scopes, minimize customer and payment data copied between services, confirm consent and compliance needs, test with safe data first, and keep workflow logs and error alerts enabled.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Rogue AgentSelf-Modification, Session Persistence
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The trigger phrases are broad enough to match ordinary conversation such as 'save time' or 'automate,' which can cause the skill to activate outside narrowly intended contexts. Over-broad invocation increases the chance of inappropriate routing and accidental use of automation guidance in situations involving sensitive systems or data.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

This skill gives detailed guidance for moving customer, payment, usage, and CRM data across external services but does not warn about data minimization, consent, credential scope, retention, or compliance obligations. In practice, users may implement automations that expose personal or financial data to unnecessary third parties or create insecure data flows without realizing the privacy implications.

Session Persistence

Medium
Category
Rogue Agent
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding

Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
