Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward Maven dependency-management guide with no bundled executable behavior or hidden agent instructions.

Before installing, treat it as Maven reference material: review any suggested dependency or repository changes before applying them, prefer trusted repositories, and keep credentials in environment variables or secure Maven settings rather than hardcoding them.

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
