Pilot Service Agents Dev

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a read-only helper for querying public developer-platform metadata through Pilot Protocol agents, with one documentation scope mismatch to review.

Before installing, confirm you are comfortable using Pilot Protocol service agents over network 9 and avoid sending private repository names, credentials, or sensitive queries. Treat the npm/package-registry overlap as a documentation/routing ambiguity rather than a security block.

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
  • MCP Tool PoisoningHidden Instructions, Unicode Deception, Parameter Description Injection
  • 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

Finding

The manifest says "Do NOT use this skill" for Npm/PyPI/Maven registries, implying those ecosystems are out of scope for this skill. However, the documented agent list includes npm-search, jsdelivr-npm-stats, and several other language-package registries such as NuGet, Packagist, Pub.dev, and RubyGems, which materially broadens the stated scope beyond the manifest boundary.
