Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill appears benign because it only organizes user-supplied knowledge notes into structured outputs and does not ask for private files, credentials, persistence, or code execution.

Install this only if you want agents to transform supplied knowledge notes into segmented notes or index updates. Review ambiguous requests carefully because the top-level invocation wording is broad, but the skill does not request sensitive access or persistent authority.

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 skill's invocation language is broad enough that an agent could select it for generic 'knowledge operations work' rather than only for clearly delimited indexing tasks. That can cause unintended tool use or incorrect stage execution when a user request is ambiguous, especially because the skill bundles multiple independently invocable stages in one file.
