Pilot Voice Memo

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward voice-memo helper, but users should treat recorded audio and cleanup commands carefully.

Install only if you intend to exchange audio over Pilot Protocol. Avoid recording secrets or private conversations without consent, verify the recipient before sending, and review or back up received files before using the clear command.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • 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

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The skill explicitly guides recording and transmitting audio between agents but provides no warning about capturing sensitive conversations, consent requirements, or metadata/privacy exposure. In an agent environment, voice memos may contain credentials, confidential business information, or regulated personal data, so normalizing transmission without safeguards increases the risk of unintentional data leakage.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs users to clear received files with pilotctl --json received --clear but does not warn that this may irreversibly delete locally received data. This can cause accidental loss of evidence, audit artifacts, or user data, especially because the example presents cleanup as a routine final step.
