Amazon Leadership Principles

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a plain Markdown guidance document for applying Amazon-style product and engineering review principles, with no code execution, persistence, credential access, or data movement.

Install this if you want Amazon Leadership Principles to influence product, feature, code review, and architecture discussions. Be aware that broad trigger phrases may make it appear in generic prioritization or review tasks, so disable it or invoke a different skill when you do not want that framework applied.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • 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

Finding

The skill advertises very broad trigger phrases such as "build a product," "review this code," and "quality check," which can match a wide range of ordinary requests and cause the skill to activate outside its intended niche. Overbroad invocation increases the chance of unintended steering of user workflows, hidden policy substitution, or inappropriate application of Amazon-specific decision heuristics in unrelated contexts.
