Proactive Agent

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is mostly a disclosed proactive-agent framework, but it asks the agent to retain broad personal conversation data and mutate future operating rules without enough user control.

Install only if you want an agent that keeps persistent workspace memory and can evolve its own operating files. Before using it, disable or narrow automatic memory capture, exclude secrets and sensitive identifiers, require review before updating AGENTS.md or skill files, and treat app/tab/file cleanup and scheduled autonomous crons as opt-in actions requiring explicit approval.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
  • System PersistenceInstalls backdoors, hooks, services, or scheduled tasks that survive the run
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads

Overbroad Plaintext Capture of Conversation and Personal Data<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `SKILL.md`, lines 145-208 **Vulnerability Type**: Unrestricted plaintext persistence of conversation data **Risk Level**: Medium ### Technical Analysis The WAL protocol requires the agent to persist broad classes of user input before responding, including names, companies, dates, IDs, URLs, and preferences: ```markdown **The Law:** You are a stateful operator. Chat history is a BUFFER, not storage. `SESSION-STATE.md` is your "RAM" — the ONLY place specific details are safe. ### Trigger — SCAN EVERY MESSAGE FOR: - ✏️ **Corrections** — "It's X, not Y" / "Actually..." / "No, I meant..." - 📍 **Proper nouns** — Names, places, companies, products - 🎨 **Preferences** — Colors, styles, approaches, "I like/don't like" - 📋 **Decisions** — "Let's do X" / "Go with Y" / "Use Z" - 📝 **Draft changes** — Edits to something we're working on - 🔢 **Specific values** — Numbers, dates, IDs, URLs ### The Protocol **If ANY of these appear:** 1. **STOP** — Do not start composing your response 2. **WRITE** — Update SESSION-STATE.md with the detail 3. **THEN** — Respond to your human ``` The working-buffer protocol further requires wholesale logging after the context reaches 60%: ```markdown 1. **At 60% context** (check via `session_status`): CLEAR the old buffer, start fresh 2. **Every message after 60%**: Append both human's message AND your response summary 3. **After compaction**: Read the buffer FIRST, extract important context 4. **Leave buffer as-is** until next 60% threshold ``` ```markdown **The rule:** Once context hits 60%, EVERY exchange gets logged. No exceptions. ``` Related templates explicitly solicit and retain personal goals, important dates, projects, and relationship profiles in `assets/USER.md` and `assets/MEMORY.md`. No data-classification step, secret redaction, retention limit, encryption requirement, per-field consent, or file-permission requirement is applied to these memory files.

Remediation
<![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions - Replace unconditional WAL capture with an allowlisted schema limited to task state that is necessary for continuity. - Never persist passwords, API keys, session tokens, authentication headers, private keys, one-time codes, payment information, or signed URLs. - Add secret and sensitive-data redaction before every memory write. - Remove the “EVERY exchange” requirement; store concise, user-approved summaries instead. - Ask for explicit consent before retaining personal relationships, important dates, health data, financial data, or third-party information. - Add commands to inspect, edit, export, disable, and delete retained memory. - Define retention periods and automatically purge stale working buffers and daily notes. - Require restrictive permissions for memory directories and files, such as a user-only directory mode and user-only file access. - Document whether memory files are indexed, synchronized, backed up, or supplied to external model providers. - Keep task state separate from long-term personal profiling so users can enable continuity without enabling personal-data collection. ]]>

Persistent Agent Rule Mutation Without Approval or Trust-Boundary Validation<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `assets/AGENTS.md`, lines 134-141 **Vulnerability Type**: Persistent self-modification of always-loaded instructions **Risk Level**: Medium ### Technical Analysis The agent is instructed to modify its own persistent operating rules whenever it identifies a mistake or lesson: ```markdown ## Self-Improvement After every mistake or learned lesson: 1. Identify the pattern 2. Figure out a better approach 3. Update AGENTS.md, TOOLS.md, or relevant file immediately Don't wait for permission to improve. If you learned something, write it down now. ``` `assets/AGENTS.md` is designated as an operating-rules file and is read at the beginning of every session. Consequently, additions to this file can alter future agent behavior across sessions. The package contains a valid defensive rule stating that external content must be treated as data. However, it does not require provenance tracking, human review, an instruction allowlist, integrity checking, or separation between untrusted observations and executable operating rules before self-improvement content is promoted into `AGENTS.md` or a Skill file. This creates a persistent memory-poisoning sink. A single classification failure can transform an instruction encountered in untrusted content into a durable rule loaded in later sessions. ### Attack Path 1. The agent processes an email, webpage, document, log entry, issue report, or API response containing an instruction-like recommendation. 2. The content is framed as a correction, workaround, failure analysis, or “lesson learned,” rather than an obvious direct prompt injection. 3. During self-healing, the agent treats the recommendation as a useful lesson. 4. Following the quoted rule, it immediately writes the recommendation into `AGENTS.md`, `TOOLS.md`, or another Skill file without human approval. 5. At the beginning of later sessions, the agent reloads `AGENTS.md`. 6. The poisoned rule now influences future ...[truncated 728 chars]
Remediation
<![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions - Prohibit autonomous modification of `AGENTS.md`, `SOUL.md`, Skill files, security policy, and other instruction-bearing files. - Store proposed lessons in a non-executable review queue, such as `notes/proposed-lessons.md`. - Require explicit human approval before promoting a proposed lesson into an always-loaded instruction file. - Record provenance for every lesson, including whether it originated from the user, external content, tool output, or agent inference. - Reject rule changes derived from external content, logs, webpages, emails, PDFs, API responses, or other untrusted sources. - Apply a fixed schema to learned preferences and operational notes rather than allowing arbitrary instruction text. - Maintain version history and integrity hashes for instruction-bearing files. - Present a diff and security-impact summary before any approved rule change. - Prevent learned rules from changing approval requirements, credential handling, deletion safeguards, or external-communication controls. ]]>

Heartbeat Checklist Authorizes Destructive Desktop and Application Actions<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `assets/HEARTBEAT.md`, lines 68-82 **Vulnerability Type**: Overprivileged autonomous local actions **Risk Level**: Medium ### Technical Analysis The periodic heartbeat checklist directs the agent to alter application state, browser state, and filesystem contents: ```markdown ## 🧹 System Cleanup ### Close Unused Apps Check for apps not used recently, close if safe. Leave alone: Finder, Terminal, core apps Safe to close: Preview, TextEdit, one-off apps ### Browser Tab Hygiene - Keep: Active work, frequently used - Close: Random searches, one-off pages - Bookmark first if potentially useful ### Desktop Cleanup - Move old screenshots to trash - Flag unexpected files ``` These actions are not necessary for the declared proactive-memory and assistance functionality. They also conflict with the stronger deletion rule in `assets/AGENTS.md`, which requires confirmation before deleting files, including deletion through trash. Determining whether an application, tab, or screenshot is unused is heuristic. Closing an application may discard unsaved work or interrupt jobs. Closing tabs can destroy transient state, form input, authentication workflows, or incident evidence. Moving screenshots to trash is a filesystem deletion action even when recoverable. ### Attack Path 1. A heartbeat runs while the user is absent or not actively supervising the agent. 2. The agent enumerates open applications, browser tabs, or desktop files. 3. It heuristically classifies an item as unused, random, one-off, or old. 4. It closes the application or tab, or moves the screenshot to trash without obtaining item-specific approval. 5. Unsaved work, transient browser state, or local evidence becomes unavailable or is lost. 6. If trash is later emptied or synchronized deletion occurs, the file loss can become irreversible. No attacker is required; normal autonomous execution can trigger the unsafe behavior. An attacker who can influenc ...[truncated 515 chars]
Remediation
<![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions - Remove application closing, browser-tab closing, and file trashing from unattended heartbeat behavior. - Restrict heartbeats to observation and reporting by default. - Require explicit, itemized user approval before closing an application, closing a tab, or moving a file. - Never close applications with unsaved documents, active transfers, running jobs, or unknown state. - Present candidate tabs and files in a review list instead of altering them. - If cleanup is enabled, use an opt-in allowlist of directories and file patterns with a configurable age threshold. - Move approved files to a dedicated quarantine directory with an audit log and retention period rather than directly to trash. - Resolve policy conflicts explicitly: the deletion-confirmation rule must take precedence over all cleanup guidance. ]]>

Bundled Skill Documentation Creates a Cross-Session Scheduled Task<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `SKILL-v2.3-backup.md`, lines 376-390 **Vulnerability Type**: Persistent scheduled agent prompt **Risk Level**: Low ### Technical Analysis A bundled backup Skill document provides a concrete command that installs a weekly cron job: ```markdown **2. Schedule it:** Add a weekly cron job that fires a reminder: ``` cron action=add job={ "name": "reverse-prompting-weekly", "sessionTarget": "main", "schedule": {"kind": "cron", "expr": "0 14 * * 0", "tz": "America/Los_Angeles"}, "payload": {"kind": "systemEvent", "text": "REVERSE PROMPTING TIME: Ask your human what interesting things you could do that they haven't thought of, and what information would help you be more useful."} } ``` **3. Add to AGENTS.md NEVER FORGET:** Put a trigger in your always-visible section so you see it every response. ``` The scheduled payload is not malicious and does not execute shell code. Nevertheless, it is a persistence mechanism that survives the immediate Skill run and repeatedly injects instructions into the main session. The document does not require explicit approval before creating the job and does not provide an uninstall, expiration, ownership, or duplicate-detection procedure. The current Skill also encourages weekly cron reminders, while its autonomous-cron section promotes isolated agent turns for background work. Scheduled execution is optional rather than necessary for the core functionality, so installing it without informed approval exceeds minimum privilege. ### Attack Path 1. The agent or operator loads the bundled backup documentation as part of the Skill package. 2. The instruction to add the cron job is followed. 3. A persistent scheduler entry named `reverse-prompting-weekly` is created. 4. Every Sunday, the scheduler injects the configured system event into the main session. 5. The repeated prompt continues until the job is manually discovered and removed. 6. If similar guidance is later adapted ...[truncated 703 chars]
Remediation
<![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions - Treat scheduled-task creation as an external persistent action requiring explicit human approval. - Present the exact schedule, target session, payload, expected resource use, and privacy effects before installation. - Prefer a nonpersistent checklist unless the user specifically requests automation. - Add an expiration date, maximum-run count, duplicate check, and stable owner identifier. - Provide commands to list, disable, and remove every job created by the Skill. - Keep scheduled payloads immutable and narrowly scoped. - Do not convert reminders into isolated tool-enabled agent turns without a second explicit approval. - Remove historical backup and draft Skill files from distributable packages, or rename and mark them as non-loadable documentation. ]]>

Security Audit Secret Scan Can Be Bypassed by Filenames and Directory Placement<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `scripts/security-audit.sh`, lines 53-64 **Vulnerability Type**: Incomplete and filename-unsafe secret detection **Risk Level**: Low ### Technical Analysis The secret scan obtains filenames through command substitution and iterates over whitespace-delimited output: ```bash # 2. Check for exposed secrets in common files echo "🔍 Scanning for exposed secrets..." SECRET_PATTERNS="(api[_-]?key|apikey|secret|password|token|auth).*[=:].{10,}" for f in $(ls *.md *.json *.yaml *.yml .env* 2>/dev/null || true); do if [ -f "$f" ]; then matches=$(grep -iE "$SECRET_PATTERNS" "$f" 2>/dev/null | grep -v "example\|template\|placeholder\|your-\|<\|TODO" || true) if [ -n "$matches" ]; then warn "Possible secret in $f - review manually" fi fi done pass "Secret scan complete" ``` Using `for f in $(ls ...)` applies shell word splitting and pathname expansion to command output. A file such as `production secrets.md` is split into multiple nonexistent paths and may not be scanned. Newlines and wildcard characters in filenames can cause similar failures. The scan is also limited to matching files in the current directory. It does not inspect nested notes, memory files, scripts, source trees, or files beneath `.credentials`. The regular expression only detects a small subset of textual assignment formats and the exclusion filter can suppress real secrets on any line containing one of the listed words. If a missed secret is the only issue, the final summary can report that all checks passed, creating false assurance. ### Attack Path 1. A secret is stored in a nested path such as `notes/private/config.md`, or in a root-level file whose name contains whitespace. 2. The shell loop either never enumerates the nested file or splits the whitespace-containing filename incorrectly. 3. `grep` is not run against the actual file. 4. No warning or issue counter is generated. 5. The script print ...[truncated 672 chars]

Use null-delimited traversal, for example `find ... -print0` with `while IFS= read -r -d '' file`. - Recursively scan the intended workspace while explicitly excluding version-control metadata, binary files, and approved credential stores. - Correctly support spaces, tabs, newlines, wildcard characters, and leading dashes in filenames. - Expand detection to common token formats, private-key headers, authorization headers, cloud credentials, signed URLs, and high-entropy strings. - Apply exclusions to known placeholder values rather than suppressing an entire line based on broad words such as `example` or `TODO`. - Report scan coverage, excluded paths, unreadable files, and scanner errors. - Do not print “All checks passed” when coverage is incomplete or files could not be inspected. - Add regression tests using nested files and filenames containing spaces, newlines, glob characters, and leading dashes. - Use a maintained secret-scanning tool where available, while retaining local-only operation unless external submission is explicitly approved. ]]>

Vague Triggers

High
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The WAL trigger is intentionally broad and fires on common conversational elements like corrections, preferences, decisions, names, and specific values. In practice this causes the agent to interrupt normal dialogue and persist large amounts of user content by default, increasing the chance of oversharing, retention of sensitive data, and policy conflicts from a prompt rule that activates on many ordinary messages.

Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding
The declared description is about enhancing agent behavior and autonomy patterns, but the supplied code is a standalone security-audit script. Its primary function is to inspect local files and configurations for security issues, not to make agents proactive or provide WAL/working-buffer/autonomous-cron functionality. This is a material purpose mismatch, and the code accesses resources and performs checks that are not suggested by the description.

Ssd 3

High
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
The WAL protocol directs the agent to scan every message and persist proper nouns, preferences, decisions, numbers, dates, IDs, and URLs before replying. This broad category list will inevitably capture sensitive identifiers and personal context, creating durable records that expand the blast radius of any later compromise or prompt-induced disclosure.

Ssd 3

High
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding
Persistently recording every post-threshold exchange and user details creates a natural-language data leakage surface: sensitive content becomes searchable, reusable, and vulnerable to later disclosure by the agent or any other process with workspace access. The risk is elevated because the logging is broad, continuous, and framed as having 'no exceptions.'
