KiloCode

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward guide for using the Kilocode coding-agent CLI, with powerful but disclosed coding and automation capabilities.

Install only if you intentionally want Codex to delegate coding work to the Kilocode CLI. Use autonomous mode only in trusted, backed-up, least-privilege environments, because it can run commands and change files without interactive permission prompts.

A.I.G

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

Vague Triggers

Finding

The skill description is broadly scoped to general coding, debugging, refactoring, and automation tasks, which overlaps heavily with common requests an orchestrator may route by default. This can cause the skill to be invoked in many contexts where it is unnecessary, increasing the chance that a powerful code-executing tool is selected and granted access to files or command execution beyond what the user expected.

Missing User Warnings

Finding

The documentation advertises autonomous mode, command execution, file read/write, and browser interaction, but provides only a minimal note about trusted environments and no clear warning about destructive actions, credential exposure, data loss, or unintended system changes. In practice, this can normalize unsafe use of a highly privileged agent and lead users to run autonomous operations without understanding the operational and security risks.
