iaiops-energy

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a clearly disclosed, read-only industrial telemetry MCP routing guide, with operational cautions but no artifact-backed hidden persistence or control behavior.

Install only if you intend to connect an MCP client to authorized energy telecontrol endpoints. Treat even read-only polling as operational traffic, keep IAIOPS_MASTER_PASSWORD in a real secret manager, and review the external pip package separately if your environment requires runtime code provenance checks.

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
  • Rogue AgentSelf-Modification, Session Persistence
  • 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

Session Persistence

Medium
Category
Rogue Agent
Confidence
60% 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.

**Monitor-direction ONLY — deliberately.** No control/operate surface exists in
this edition: no DNP3 CROB or analog-output, no setpoints, no
select-before-operate, no IEC-104 command ASDUs (C_SC / C_DC / C_SE), no
IEC 61850 control model. This is not a gated write — the tools simply do not
exist, so an agent cannot be talked into operating a breaker.
