Dns Lookup

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward DNS lookup helper that uses the standard dig tool, with the only notable risk being a user-directed system package install.

Install only if you are comfortable adding the bind-utils package through your system package manager. After installation, the skill performs DNS lookups with dig and does not request credentials or background access.

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
