Remote Agent Scheduler

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a narrow helper for setting up scheduled remote agent runs and does not contain hidden code or unrelated behavior.

Before installing, confirm you intend to manage recurring remote cloud agent jobs and review the repo, environment, connectors, cron schedule, and prompt payload because scheduled runs may keep operating after setup.

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 default prompt begins with "Help me," which is a very common everyday phrase and can overlap with generic assistance requests rather than a narrowly scoped scheduler invocation. The file does not provide additional trigger constraints or exclusion examples to clarify when this skill should be selected versus other help-oriented skills.
