vss-deploy-profile

70High

The skill bypasses human-in-the-loop controls for infrastructure changes, insecurely handles sensitive API keys, and executes unconstrained network and system operations without declaring required tool permissions.

AI Agent Traps ↗
Autonomous execution bypasshighoversight evasionAML.T0054LLM01:2025LLM07:2025

The instructions explicitly provide a mechanism to bypass human confirmation for deployment if the user includes keywords like 'autonomously' or 'non-interactive', which can be exploited to perform unauthorized infrastructure changes. [ensemble: confirmed by 3/3 passes; severity set to the agreed median (ADR-0067).]

90% confidenceline 300
If the user's request already asks you to run autonomously (e.g. 'deploy X autonomously', 'run without confirmation', 'non-interactive'), skip the confirmation prompt and proceed straight to Step 5.
Potential credential exposure via logslowcredential theftAML.T0055AML.T0037LLM02:2025

The skill handles multiple sensitive API keys (NGC, NVIDIA, HF) and writes them into a generated environment file, which may be logged or persisted in insecure locations.

Skill executes commands, writes files, or accesses the network but declares no allowed-tools, so its tool surface cannot be reviewed or constrained.

Undeclared network usagelowunauthorized tool useAML.T0053LLM06:2025

Skill contains network access patterns (HTTP requests, socket connections) without declaring network capability in allowed-tools.
