Delegate Task

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill transparently delegates work to OpenSpace, but it gives broad autonomous, cloud, and public-upload authority without enough user approval or containment guidance.

Install only if you are comfortable with an OpenSpace worker receiving task context and potentially using broad coding, DevOps, web, desktop, and cloud-skill capabilities. Before using it, require explicit approval for delegation, cloud imports, state-changing actions, and any public upload; review imported or evolved skills and scan directories for secrets before sharing.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • 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

Missing User Warnings

Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The skill description markets broad autonomous capabilities but does not clearly warn that delegated tasks may execute impactful actions such as modifying systems, performing web research, controlling a desktop, or uploading skills to a cloud community. This omission increases the risk that users or upstream agents will invoke the skill without understanding its operational reach, leading to unsafe delegation and accidental data or environment exposure.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The delegation criteria are broad and permissive, allowing OpenSpace to be invoked whenever the agent 'lacks capability,' previously failed, faces a 'complex multi-step task,' or the user merely asks. Because OpenSpace can perform coding, DevOps, web research, desktop automation, and skill sharing, these triggers can cause unintended escalation from advice-only handling to impactful external actions without explicit per-action confirmation or risk gating.
