Halo Cli Operations

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a Halo CLI command reference that discloses its mutating operations and does not ship executable code or hidden behavior.

Install this if you intentionally administer Halo from the terminal. Review commands before use in production, especially URL-based installs or upgrades and any command using --force or --yes, because those can mutate or delete Halo resources or bypass CLI confirmation prompts.

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 description is broad enough to trigger on many generic terminal tasks involving themes, plugins, attachments, backups, or content operations, which increases the chance the agent invokes this skill in contexts it was not specifically intended for. Because the skill includes destructive and remote-fetching commands such as install, upgrade, delete, and URL-based operations, over-activation can lead to unintended mutation, supply-chain exposure, or data loss if selected automatically.
