Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed project-management dispatcher, but it mandates agent delegation and task-tracker file writes without clear user control.

Install only if you explicitly want a project-manager mode that delegates development work to agents and updates TASK-TRACKER.json. Confirm where reports to the founder go, whether tracker writes require approval, and how many timeout retries are allowed.

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

Mandatory Skill Instructions Hijack the Agent's Execution Role and Workflow

inspect intermediate artifacts -> update the ledger with status "timed_out" -> assess completion -> delegate a suitable continuation task. ## Self-Check Mechanism (PIT-037) Before performing any operation, ask: 1. Does it write or modify code (tsx/ts/css/html)? 2. Does it run a build (pnpm build)? 3. Does it deploy (copy static files or start a service)? If yes, stop and delegate to an Agent. ## Role Boundary Red Lines Allowed: analyze and divide tasks, read files and inspect state, write management documents or ledgers, and answer the founder. Prohibited: write or modify any code, CSS, or HTML; build or deploy; review code; or become occupied ...[truncated 2921 chars]

Finding

The activation description is very broad: the skill activates whenever the project manager assigns tasks, tracks progress, handles timeouts, or reports results, without clear scoping constraints. This can cause the skill to be invoked in situations outside its intended boundary, increasing the chance of inappropriate delegation behavior, unintended file modifications such as mandatory tracker updates, or interference with unrelated workflows.
