Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed publishing workflow guide with broad deploy authority, but its behavior is coherent with its stated purpose.

Before installing, use this skill only when you are comfortable letting an agent run the documented build and deploy flow for the selected project. Confirm production targets, credentials, announcement channels, rollback commands, and any cron automation before allowing it to proceed.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • 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 skill description is broadly phrased enough to invite invocation for almost any publishing or deployment task, including high-risk production changes. Because the skill is user-invocable and has exec/write capabilities, overly general activation language can cause an agent to apply it without sufficient scoping, safeguards, or human confirmation for sensitive release actions.

Vague Triggers

Confidence

Finding

The "When to Use" section defines activation conditions very broadly, covering both routine recurring publishes and first-time deploys, which can include production-impacting operations. In a user-invocable skill with execution privileges, this increases the chance of the agent selecting the skill for sensitive deployments without enough context, approvals, or environment-specific safety checks.
