OpenSCAD Automation

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward OpenSCAD helper that creates and renders CAD files, with expected local file and installation steps disclosed.

Install only if you want an agent to create OpenSCAD design files and run OpenSCAD renders in your workspace. Review target filenames before rendering or iterating, and only run the sudo package install commands if you trust your operating system package manager and intend to install OpenSCAD system-wide.

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
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • 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
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Missing User Warnings

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The markdown declares a capability to write .scad files directly to the workspace, which is a user-data-affecting file operation. The document does not pair this capability with any caution about overwriting existing files, choosing output paths carefully, or confirming before modifications.

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

This line explicitly describes agent behavior that changes the local filesystem. Because the markdown provides no adjacent warning about reviewing filenames, output locations, or possible overwrites, the skill description lacks disclosure for a safety-relevant operation.
