Security audit

Mailcheck

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a simple local Mailcheck reference helper that prints documentation and does not access credentials, network services, or persistent system settings.

This appears safe to install as a local reference skill. Be aware that some documentation is generic and the cheatsheet has a command naming mismatch, so users may need to run `debugging` rather than `troubleshooting`.

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

  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration

Credential Access

Privilege Escalation
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding

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

Finding

The cheatsheet lists troubleshooting as an essential command, but the dispatcher only implements debugging, not troubleshooting. This is an active documentation-to-code contradiction within the skill's own reference output and can mislead users about available functionality.
