Ping Monitor

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a simple ping-based network reachability helper with no hidden install, persistence, or bundled executable behavior.

Install only if you need ping-style reachability checks. Use it against hosts and networks you own or have permission to test, since even ordinary ping traffic can be logged or restricted in some environments.

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

Finding

The skill documentation encourages sending ICMP traffic to arbitrary hosts but does not warn users that it generates outbound network probes. Even though ping is a standard diagnostic tool, omission of this disclosure can lead to unintended scanning of third-party or sensitive internal systems, which may violate policy or trigger monitoring alerts.
