Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a disclosed local story-game skill that saves and loads game progress locally without hidden network, command, or privilege behavior.

Before installing, users should understand that story progress and scenarios may be stored in a local JSON save file. Avoid pointing the configurable save path at important files unless you intend to overwrite them.

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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • 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
Skill's behavior or capabilities extend beyond its stated purpose. Scope creep allows an agent to perform actions unrelated to its documented functionality, increasing the attack surface.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
Line L47 writes story state and scenario data to a local JSON file using fs.writeFileSync, but the code provides no confirmation prompt, log message, or explanatory comment/docstring disclosing that user progress will be persisted to disk. For a code file, local file writes should have some visible disclosure unless clearly documented elsewhere, which is not present in this file.
