Security audit

Aws Networking Audit

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a coherent read-only AWS VPC audit guide that uses disclosed AWS CLI queries and does not include executable code, persistence, or hidden data movement.

Install only where the AWS credentials or assumed roles are intentionally read-only and scoped to the accounts, regions, VPCs, and log groups you want audited. Treat Flow Logs and network inventory as sensitive infrastructure data, and review any remediation separately before making AWS changes.

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

Intent-Code Divergence

Low
Category

Confidence
80% confidence
Finding

The manifest and body repeatedly emphasize a read-only CLI audit, suggesting purely observational commands. Later guidance instructs operators to use aws sts assume-role for multi-account operation, which is an active credential-acquisition step rather than a simple read-only resource query, creating a mild contradiction in stated intent versus documented behavior.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
76% confidence
Finding

The manifest describes a VPC networking audit using read-only AWS CLI commands. In the troubleshooting section, the skill expands beyond that narrow description by recommending AWS Config aggregator and AWS RAM shared-resource approaches for centralized visibility, which are broader AWS service capabilities and not part of the described CLI-only audit flow.
