Code Review
Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk
Overview
The skill itself is a normal code-review checklist, but its install instructions ask users to run mutable remote npx installers that can change after review.
Review the skill content as low-risk guidance, but avoid running the documented npx install commands unless you trust the package/source at execution time. Prefer a pinned installer version and an immutable source commit, or inspect and manually copy the reviewed files into the intended skill directory.
Vulnerability Patterns
- Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
- 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

Medium
- Category
- MCP Rug Pull
- Confidence
- 70% confidence
- Finding
npx commands without a version suffix (e.g. @1.0.0) create a rug-pull risk if the upstream server is compromised and publishes a malicious update.

Session Persistence
Medium
- Category
- Rogue Agent
- Confidence
- 60% confidence
- Finding
Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.

- Agent Snooping
- Confidence

- Finding
Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.

External Model or Provider Selection

- Excessive Agency
- Confidence
- 90% confidence
- Finding
Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.
