Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a documentation-only automation playbook with disclosed, purpose-aligned guidance and no hidden code or install-time behavior.

Before using the skill to build real automations, review each workflow's app permissions, test with non-sensitive data first, and be careful with automations that send emails, update CRM/accounting records, or post publicly.

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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The trigger phrases are broad and include very common language such as 'automate', 'save time', and 'reduce manual work', which can cause the skill to activate for many unrelated user requests. Over-broad invocation increases the chance of inappropriate routing, accidental execution of workflow-building guidance in the wrong context, and exposure of users to actions or advice they did not intend to request.

Session Persistence

Medium
Category
Rogue Agent
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding

Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
