Kubernetes Skills

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Kubernetes cert-manager helper, but users should review generated cluster changes before applying them.

Install only if you want an agent to help manage cert-manager resources. Before applying any example, confirm the current Kubernetes context, namespace, issuer type, ingress class, email address, DNS names, and production versus staging ACME endpoint, especially on shared or production clusters.

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

Finding

This markdown file includes multiple kubectl_apply(...) examples that create Certificate, ClusterIssuer, self-signed issuer, and Ingress resources, which can modify live cluster state and affect TLS behavior. The document presents these actions as straightforward usage examples but does not warn users to verify namespace, issuer, domain ownership, or target environment before applying them.
