Security audit

Pilot Receipt

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Pilot Protocol receipt helper, with one optional inbox-clearing command users should treat carefully.

Install only if you use Pilot Protocol receipt tracking and are comfortable with agents using pilotctl. Review messages before running the inbox clear command, because it may remove received messages needed for later audit or troubleshooting.

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
  • 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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Finding

The skill documents pilotctl --json inbox --clear immediately after the inbox-check command without an explicit warning that it irreversibly deletes received messages. In an agent skill context, this can lead to accidental destruction of unread or unprocessed messages, undermining auditability and potentially causing denial of service or loss of evidence for message-handling workflows.
