Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Git workflow helper; it can affect repositories if used, but the behavior is visible and aligned with its purpose.

Install this if you want Codex to help with Git workflows. Review commands before allowing commits, pushes, rebases, branch deletion, or PR/MR creation, especially because the skill uses broad Git triggers and includes example project paths and repository conventions that may not fit every project.

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

Vague Triggers

Medium

Finding

The trigger list is broad enough to activate on routine discussion of Git concepts rather than a clear request to use this skill. In an agent setting, that can cause unintended skill invocation and execution of repository-affecting commands in contexts where the user only wanted advice, increasing the chance of unwanted branch changes, pulls, commits, or pushes.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
77% confidence
Finding

The skill prescribes branch prefixes like 'feature/' and 'fix/' and English conventional commit labels such as 'feat:' and 'fix:' as required norms. This can be a locale/language policy issue when presented as a mandatory convention without user opt-in or explanation that the repository specifically requires English naming.
