Pulse App Skill

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a developer documentation skill for building Pulse Apps, with no bundled executable code or hidden behavior found.

Installers should treat this as a Pulse App developer guide. Review any project generated by the Pulse CLI and any Pulse dependencies separately before running app code, especially if adding real API keys or public endpoints, but this skill artifact itself does not request unusual authority.

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
