Augment Code

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a Chinese-language informational guide for installing and using Augment Code, with no bundled executable behavior or hidden agent instructions.

Before installing, treat Augment as a separate IDE extension with access to code you authorize. Review the extension publisher, workspace/repository scope, and your organization’s policy for indexing private source code. The Chinese-only documentation may be inconvenient for non-Chinese readers but does not by itself make the skill unsafe.

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

This markdown file presents the skill name, description, features, setup, and limitations only in Chinese, which effectively forces a specific language for users without opt-in. The policy explicitly flags language or locale constraints unless the skill offers a choice or clearly documents a justified region-specific limitation.
