Security audit

Spec to ADR

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill creates standard architecture decision record documents in a repository and does not show hidden, networked, credential-seeking, or destructive behavior.

Install this if you want the agent to create and maintain ADR documentation in your repository. Be aware that invoking it will write documentation files and may update an ADR index, so review the generated ADR before committing it.

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
  • 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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Missing User Warnings

High
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

This instruction explicitly tells the agent to create docs/adr/ without asking permission, normalizing unapproved filesystem mutation as a default behavior. That increases risk because it removes a consent checkpoint and can be chained with ambiguous prompts or malicious plan inputs to cause unauthorized writes in the workspace.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The skill directs the agent to write a new ADR file and modify an index file as part of normal execution, but it does not require any explicit user confirmation or even a user-facing warning before making filesystem changes. In an agent setting, this can lead to unintended repository modifications, noisy commits, or abuse where a loosely phrased request causes silent persistent changes the user did not expect.
