Security audit

Count

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a simple static reference/help script with no evidence of credential access, network use, persistence, or hidden behavior.

Install only if you want a canned reference/help skill named count; it does not appear to perform actual counting, but it also does not request sensitive access or perform risky actions based on the inspected files.

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

There is a clear description-behavior mismatch. The declared purpose suggests a counting utility, but the code only outputs canned reference text and version/help information. It does not count items, numbers, files, or any other entities, nor does it interact with inputs in a way consistent with a counting tool. No suspicious resource access or extra permissions are present, but the primary purpose is materially different from the declaration.

Credential Access

Finding

Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
