Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This Kubernetes operations skill is mostly transparent and purpose-aligned, but it can perform high-impact cluster writes through any kubeconfig context without a built-in read-only mode, policy file, or approval gate.

Install only if you intend an agent to help operate Kubernetes clusters. Use a kubeconfig bound to the narrowest RBAC role possible, preferably read-only by default, and avoid handing it production write access unless you are comfortable with agent-triggered scaling, rollouts, deletes, namespace changes, and node drains. Review MCP/client approval behavior separately because the skill itself does not enforce approvals for write tools.

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
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

  Use this skill whenever the user needs to operate a Kubernetes cluster — list/inspect pods, deployments, statefulsets, daemonsets, replicasets, jobs, cronjobs, services, ingresses, endpoints, configmaps, secrets (names/keys only), PVCs/PVs/storageclasses, nodes, namespaces, and events; read pod logs; describe pods/nodes; pod/node top (metrics); read-only diagnostics / RCA (pod-health, workload-readiness); scale deployments/statefulsets; rollout status/history/undo/pause/resume and set image; delete pods/deployments/jobs; create/delete namespaces; and cordon/uncordon/drain nodes. Works with any kubeconfig-reachable cluster (standard Kubernetes, k3s, EKS, GKE, AKS).
  Always use this skill for "list k8s pods", "scale deployment", "kubernetes pod logs", "describe pod", "why is my pod crashing", "diagnose pods", "which deployments are unhealthy", "rollout undo", "set image", "top pods", "drain node", "cordon node", "restart deployment", "k3s", or "kubectl"-style tasks when the context is explicitly Kubernetes / a cluster.
  Do NOT use when the target is not a Kubernetes cluster (hypervisor VM lifecycle, backup products, or cloud-provider consoles are out of scope).
  Common Kubernetes operations with a built-in governance harness (audit, token budget, undo, risk-tier labels).

  Use this skill whenever the user needs to operate a Kubernetes cluster — list/inspect pods, deployments, statefulsets, daemonsets, replicasets, jobs, cronjobs, services, ingresses, endpoints, configmaps, secrets (names/keys only), PVCs/PVs/storageclasses, nodes, namespaces, and events; read pod logs; describe pods/nodes; pod/node top (metrics); read-only diagnostics / RCA (pod-health, workload-readiness); scale deployments/statefulsets; rollout status/history/undo/pause/resume and set image; delete pods/deployments/jobs; create/delete namespaces; and cordon/uncordon/drain nodes. Works with any kubeconfig-reachable cluster (standard Kubernetes, k3s, EKS, GKE, AKS).
  Always use this skill for "list k8s pods", "scale deployment", "kubernetes pod logs", "describe pod", "why is my pod crashing", "diagnose pods", "which deployments are unhealthy", "rollout undo", "set image", "top pods", "drain node", "cordon node", "restart deployment", "k3s", or "kubectl"-style tasks when the context is explicitly Kubernetes / a cluster.
  Do NOT use when the target is not a Kubernetes cluster (hypervisor VM lifecycle, backup products, or cloud-provider consoles are out of scope).
  Common Kubernetes operations with a built-in governance harness (audit, token budget, undo, risk-tier labels).

The documentation explicitly states there is no read-only switch, policy file, or approval gate, and that write permission is left to agent judgment plus whatever privileges exist in the kubeconfig context. In an agent-executed skill, this materially increases the risk of destructive cluster changes if the agent is prompted, confused, or compromised while holding a write-capable kubeconfig.

- Undo store records inverse descriptors for reversible writes (scale → previous replicas; cordon ↔ uncordon)
- Each write carries a descriptive risk-tier label into its audit row — a label, not a gate; `K8S_AUDIT_APPROVED_BY` / `K8S_AUDIT_RATIONALE` are optional annotations recorded when set, never required

**Authorization is not this tool's job.** There is no read-only switch, policy file, or approval gate. Whether a write is permitted is the agent's judgement or the RBAC of the kubeconfig context you connect with — give it a read-only ServiceAccount and writes fail at the apiserver, the place that owns the permission.

The harness is bundled in the package — no external dependency, no manual setup. See `references/setup-guide.md` for security details.
