Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill only opens GitHub in Brave, reuses an existing tab or session when available, and does not request credentials or modify content.

Install this only if you want an agent helper that can open GitHub in Brave and reuse your current GitHub login session. Review the browser page before taking any account action; the skill itself does not authorize credential entry or content changes.

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 manifest says to use the skill when the user asks to "open, visit, or go to Open GitHub," but it does not provide a precise invocation phrase or exclusion examples. This leaves activation scope somewhat ambiguous and may cause unintended invocation from common browsing language.
