agent resilience

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This instruction-only memory skill is transparent about its purpose, but it asks the agent to persist broad conversation details and raw messages without clear consent, filtering, or retention boundaries.

Install only if you want persistent local task memory. Avoid using it during conversations containing secrets, personal data, customer data, credentials, or proprietary material unless you add explicit rules to skip sensitive content and routinely inspect or delete the memory files.

Missing User Warnings

High
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding
The skill directs the agent to persist user-provided details, decisions, names, values, and corrections to a local memory file before responding, without notice, consent, retention limits, or sensitivity filtering. This creates a concrete data-retention risk because sensitive or identifying information may be stored and later exposed to other tasks, users, or future responses.

Missing User Warnings

High
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding
The working-buffer guidance instructs logging every exchange, including raw human messages, once context reaches a threshold. Persisting full conversation content without warning or filtering materially increases the chance of storing credentials, personal data, proprietary content, or regulated information that can later be disclosed or mishandled.

Ssd 3

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The WAL instructions tell the agent to capture broad classes of user-provided information and store them for later reuse, which creates a semantic memory channel for sensitive data. Even if intended for resilience, retaining corrections, names, IDs, URLs, and decisions can lead to cross-turn leakage, inappropriate reuse, or disclosure in later outputs.

Ssd 3

High
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding
Logging every exchange, especially raw human messages, creates a broad natural-language capture surface that can silently retain highly sensitive inputs. Because the skill later reads and uses this buffer for recovery, the retained content may be surfaced back to the model and indirectly disclosed in future responses.

Ssd 3

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The compaction recovery flow instructs the agent to read prior buffers and notes to reconstruct context, which increases the chance that previously stored sensitive information is reintroduced into active context and exposed in later responses. This turns earlier over-collection into a replay and leakage risk, especially across long or mixed-purpose sessions.
