Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a Markdown-only guidance skill for Web3 grants programs, with no hidden execution, persistence, credential use, or destructive behavior found.

Installers should treat this as a planning and copywriting aid. Human review is still important before publishing grant announcements, sending DMs, rejecting applicants, or making funding decisions.

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

Finding

The skill's activation text uses broad catch-all phrasing such as 'any variation' and enumerates many adjacent grants-related workflows, which can cause the skill to trigger for loosely related user requests. Overbroad activation is dangerous because it can route conversations into a domain-specific workflow the user did not intend, leading to irrelevant guidance, reduced agent reliability, and possible overshadowing of more appropriate skills.
