Microservices Starter

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a simple microservices starter guide with broad but disclosed DevOps-related examples and no hidden execution, persistence, or data access behavior.

Before installing, treat this as a lightweight guide rather than a complete scaffold: verify any referenced local scripts before running them, and require explicit confirmation before using commands that deploy to Kubernetes or install monitoring.

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
This manifest description says the skill will 'Build microservices architecture' with several broad capabilities, but it does not define specific invocation phrases, scope limits, or exclusion conditions. In a manifest file, such broad wording can contribute to ambiguous matching and unintended invocation for general architecture-related requests.
