27 Automation Workflows

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a plain-text automation workflow guide with no bundled code or hidden execution behavior.

Install this as a workflow-design reference. When using it to build real automations, review each connected app, data source, posting action, email campaign, and CRM or accounting update before turning a workflow on.

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
  • Rogue AgentSelf-Modification, Session Persistence
  • 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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The trigger phrases include very broad terms like "automate," "automation," "save time," and "reduce manual work," which are common in ordinary user conversations and can cause unintended invocation of this skill. While not directly enabling code execution or data exfiltration, over-broad activation can route users into the wrong capability, increasing the chance of inappropriate actions or confusion in an automation-focused skill.

Session Persistence

Medium
Category
Rogue Agent
Content
2. Flag customers with <50% of average usage
  3. Add flagged customers to "At Risk" segment in CRM
  4. Send re-engagement email campaign to at-risk customers
  5. Create task for me to personally reach out to top 10 at-risk customers
```

### Invoice and payment tracking
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding
Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
