Strace

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is not malware, but it claims to be a strace reference while mostly providing generic boilerplate that could mislead users or agents.

Install only if you understand this appears to be a generic placeholder reference, not a reliable strace skill. It does not show malicious local behavior, but users looking for accurate strace troubleshooting should prefer a skill with real strace commands, examples, and safety caveats.

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 declared description says this is a 'Strace reference tool' for working with strace. The code only dispatches subcommands that print canned text blocks. While that is superficially a reference-style interface, the content is generic boilerplate about unspecified 'devtools' concepts, networking, migration, security, and performance, and is not meaningfully about the Linux strace utility. It also includes inaccuracies such as vague statements like 'Strace (strace) is a specialized tool/concept in the devtools domain' and generic troubleshooting unrelated to strace. There are no undeclared sensitive behaviors or resource accesses, but the primary purpose and actual content materially differ from the declared purpose because it does not function as a genuine strace reference.

Finding

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

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The skill claims to be a strace reference tool, but the content is generic devtools boilerplate and does not provide strace-specific guidance. This mismatch is dangerous because it can mislead users and downstream agents into trusting incorrect capabilities, causing operational mistakes or unsafe troubleshooting decisions in contexts where precise syscall-tracing knowledge is expected.
