Kubernetes Skills

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is purpose-aligned for cert-manager work, but it can guide an agent to make persistent Kubernetes cluster changes without clear approval, context, or rollback safeguards.

Use this skill only if you trust it to operate on your Kubernetes environment. Before allowing it to apply manifests, verify the kube context, namespace, domain names, issuer names, and target cluster, especially in production. Prefer least-privileged Kubernetes credentials and require confirmation for any kubectl_apply action.

#
ASI02: Tool Misuse and Exploitation
Medium
What this means

A mistaken apply could alter certificate issuance behavior for an entire Kubernetes cluster.

Why it was flagged

The skill documents direct application of a cluster-wide Kubernetes manifest. This is purpose-aligned, but without explicit confirmation, context checking, or rollback instructions, an agent could apply high-impact cluster changes to the wrong environment.

Skill content
kubectl_apply(manifest="""\napiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1\nkind: ClusterIssuer\nmetadata:\n  name: letsencrypt-prod
Recommendation

Require explicit user approval before any kubectl_apply action, verify the active kube context and namespace, and review the manifest before applying it.

#
ASI03: Identity and Privilege Abuse
Medium
What this means

The skill may operate using whatever Kubernetes credentials are currently available, which could include production or cluster-admin access.

Why it was flagged

ClusterIssuer operations require Kubernetes account permissions that may be cluster-wide. The registry metadata declares no primary credential or config path, so the credential and context boundary are unclear.

Skill content
certmanager_clusterissuers_list_tool()
Recommendation

Use a least-privileged Kubernetes identity, confirm which kubeconfig/context is active, and avoid granting cluster-wide permissions unless needed.

#
ASI04: Agentic Supply Chain Vulnerabilities
Low
What this means

Behavior depends on the separately installed Kubernetes MCP tooling and its permissions.

Why it was flagged

The skill depends on external MCP tools, but there is no install spec, required binary declaration, or bundled code to verify those tools in this artifact set. This is not malicious by itself, but users should know the runtime tool provenance matters.

Skill content
Manage TLS certificates using kubectl-mcp-server's cert-manager tools.
Recommendation

Install Kubernetes MCP tooling only from a trusted source and review its permissions before using this skill.
