Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill maintains a local gift-card ledger and offers spending or resale suggestions without accessing accounts or moving money.

Keep only balances, dates, and last four digits in the plaintext ledger; exclude full card numbers and PINs. Use a dedicated registry file and back it up. Check issuer terms and current local rules before acting on the estimates. All five bundled files were inspected, resolving the scanner's missing-reference gap; runtime host permissions remain unverified.

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
  • MCP Least PrivilegeUnderdeclared Capability, Wildcard Permission, Missing Permission Declaration
  • 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
