Security audit

Skill 106

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is an educational guide about AI agent oversight and does not contain executable behavior or hidden authority requests.

This skill appears safe to install as reference material. Users should treat the included code and API examples as illustrative patterns to adapt carefully to their own approval workflows and production controls, not as drop-in enforcement code.

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

Findings (1)

Tool Parameter Abuse

High

Category: Tool Misuse
Confidence: 80% confidence
Finding: Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
