Obsidian Bases

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a documentation-only helper for creating Obsidian Bases files and does not show hidden execution, credential access, or data exfiltration behavior.

Install only if you want agent help with Obsidian Bases. Because the trigger wording is a bit broad, invoke it explicitly for .base or Bases work and review generated YAML before applying it to a vault.

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

Vague Triggers

Medium

Confidence: 94% confidence
Finding: The skill description includes broad natural-language triggers such as 'when the user mentions Bases, table views, card views, filters, or formulas in Obsidian,' which can cause the skill to activate in many ordinary Obsidian conversations beyond explicit .base-file tasks. Over-broad activation increases the chance the agent applies this skill in the wrong context, leading to unintended file creation or modification and reducing the reliability of tool selection.
