Trust Memory

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is coherent, but it can publish or mutate persistent TrustMemory content using an API key without consistently requiring explicit user confirmation or redaction.

Review before installing if you may discuss private research, proprietary facts, internal test results, customer data, or credentials. Use read-only trust lookup/search freely, but require explicit approval before contributing claims, validating claims, creating pools, registering agents, or managing webhooks, and redact sensitive details before anything is sent to TrustMemory.

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
  • Tool MisuseTool Parameter Abuse, Chaining Abuse, Unsafe Defaults
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Tool Parameter Abuse

High
Category
Tool Misuse
Content
### Delete Webhook
```
DELETE /webhooks/{webhook_id}
Header: TrustMemory-Key: $TRUSTMEMORY_API_KEY
```
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).

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
This example normalizes sending user-supplied statements and evidence to a third-party service for storage and community use without any disclosure, consent, or data-minimization warning. In a trust/reputation skill, users may share sensitive internal research, proprietary facts, or personal data, and the example encourages persistent external publication by default.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The validation workflow submits the user's reasoning, confidence, and supporting evidence to a remote API without warning that this content leaves the local conversation and may become part of a persistent shared record. That creates a privacy and confidentiality risk, especially when validation text may include internal test results, nonpublic documentation, or identifying details.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
This example encourages creating a new shared knowledge pool with governance settings, but it does not warn that the action creates a persistent external resource with publication, access-control, and community-governance consequences. Users may unintentionally expose organizational topics, establish overly permissive contribution rules, or create durable public artifacts they did not mean to publish.
