Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a markdown-only thinking-framework skill that structures analysis and does not add risky code, persistence, or hidden data handling.

Installers should be comfortable with the agent using a Six Thinking Hats format when they ask for multi-perspective decision analysis. The only practical caveat is possible over-activation for phrases like asking to look at something from all sides; it does not introduce code execution or persistent access.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • 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

Finding

The description includes example triggers like "look at this from all sides" and "full perspective check," which are natural phrases a user might say outside a deliberate request for the Six Thinking Hats method. Although the file adds some limiting context and skip conditions, it does not clearly separate exact invocation cues from general-purpose analysis requests.
