Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill’s cloud-account access and configuration changes fit its stated purpose and require a confirmed plan.

Use scoped cloud profiles and review the exact accounts, trust relationships and policy changes before confirming. Configuration persists, and partial failures may leave completed resources. The optional private-API transport requires deployment authorization and may be unavailable.

A.I.G

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

Autonomous Decision Making

Excessive Agency
Confidence

Finding

Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

The executor's site default is only a candidate, not identity evidence.

Explain the four phases: check environment and identities, prepare a concrete

keys, tokens, authorization codes, or callback URLs through chat.

Do not introduce profiles, IAM policies, or OIDC jargon before it is needed.
Do not ask the user to send keys, tokens, or callback codes.

Instance ID is found in the EIAM instance details or console URL. It identifies
