Vvvv Spreads

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a documentation-only coding aid for vvvv Spread collections, with no commands, persistence, credential access, or external data handling.

Install this if you want Codex guidance for vvvv gamma Spread<T> collection code. Be aware it may activate for general collection questions inside vvvv projects, so users should still ask explicitly when they want ordinary .NET collection guidance instead of Spread-focused patterns.

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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The trigger guidance is explicitly very broad ('trigger whenever the user writes collection-processing C# code in vvvv', even when they use generic terms like list, array, or IEnumerable), which can cause the skill to activate outside narrowly intended Spread-specific scenarios. Over-broad activation increases the chance that this skill overrides or crowds out more appropriate skills, leading to incorrect coding guidance, reduced reliability, or unsafe code transformations in adjacent contexts.
