N8N Docker Monitor

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a small, disclosed n8n Docker monitoring helper; its Docker and log access need normal care but no hidden or malicious behavior was found.

Install only where the agent is intended to inspect the local n8n Docker environment. Be aware that recent n8n logs may include sensitive operational details, so use it with appropriate Docker access and on trusted hosts.

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
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Finding

The natural-language description is written only in Portuguese ("Monitora o n8n e envia alertas") with no indication that the skill is region-specific or that users can choose their preferred language. This can violate language or locale policy when a skill implicitly enforces a specific language without opt-in.
