Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a plain guidance skill for GitHub SEO and README optimization, with only a low-impact concern that its activation wording is broader than necessary.

Before installing, be aware that this skill may be invoked on some general GitHub mentions because of its broad description. It is otherwise a static advice-only skill, so review its SEO-oriented guidance for fit with your own publishing and platform policies.

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

94% confidence
Finding
The invocation description is very broad and includes many generic GitHub-related terms, which can cause the skill to activate when a user merely mentions GitHub rather than requesting SEO/GEO help. This can misroute user intent, override a more appropriate skill, and increase the chance that advice is applied in the wrong context.
