Pilot Http Proxy

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Pilot Protocol HTTP gateway helper, but users should understand that its mappings can route or expose internal HTTP services over an overlay network.

Install only if you intend to use Pilot Protocol as an HTTP gateway. Map only services you mean to expose or route through the overlay, verify authentication and access controls on those services, and avoid privileged ports unless you understand why root/sudo is required.

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

Missing User Warnings

Finding

The skill provides commands to start a gateway and map remote HTTP services through an overlay network, but it does not clearly warn users that these actions can expose internal services or extend network reachability across trust boundaries. In a proxying/gateway skill, omission of an exposure warning increases the chance that operators unintentionally route sensitive services or assume traffic remains local-only.

Confidence
70% confidence
Finding

Commands invoke sudo or root privileges. Verify this elevated access is necessary and justified.
