Ops Issue Follow-up

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward operations-issue investigation guide with no executable code, hidden persistence, or unrelated access requests.

Install this if you want a structured workflow for operational investigations. Be aware it may prompt Codex to read project-local docs, source, configs, logs, or run verification commands during an issue follow-up, so use it in workspaces where that level of investigation is appropriate.

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 manifest description activates the skill when the user asks to 'follow up, analyze, investigate' an ops issue, which uses very broad verbs common in everyday requests. It does not provide explicit trigger boundaries, exclusions, or negative examples to distinguish this skill from other general analysis skills.
