Security audit

ColorKit

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a documentation-only ColorKit helper skill with a user-run, unpinned install command that users should treat cautiously.

Before installing, prefer a pinned npm package version and a reviewed Git commit or release tag instead of resolving the latest `npx` package or a mutable GitHub branch. Run the install without administrator privileges and review the repository source if supply-chain assurance matters.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • 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

add --skill ColorKit ``` 2. Pin the GitHub source to a specific reviewed commit or immutable release artifact if the installer supports that syntax. 3. Record and verify package integrity hashes or signatures before execution. 4. Prefer installing a reviewed CLI package through a lockfile-based project dependency and invoking its local binary instead of allowing `npx` to download an arbitrary current release. 5. Document the expected npm publisher, repository owner, exact version, commit identifier, and verification procedure. 6. Advise users to run the installer without administrative privileges and in an isolated environment where practical. 7. Avoid recommending mutable branches such as `main` for the ColorKit Swift dependency; use an exact reviewed release or commit instead. ]]>

Finding

The documentation instructs users to run npx skills add without pinning a specific package version or commit, which can cause execution of whatever package version npx resolves at install time. If the upstream package, dependency chain, or registry resolution is compromised, users could fetch and execute unexpected code during installation of the agent skill.
