skill-creator — agentic threat model

7.7AIVSS 7.7 · High

The skill-creator agent presents a moderate-to-high risk profile due to its capability to generate, modify, and execute code (skills and evaluation harnesses) on the host system. A compromise could lead to downstream supply-chain attacks through the silent injection of malicious payloads into generated skills.

OWASP AIVSS score rationale

AIVSS = (CVSS_Base + AARS) × Mitigation_Factor, where AARS = (10 − CVSS_Base) × (Factor_Sum / 10) × ThM

MAESTRO 7-layer threat model

Per-layer threats for this agent. Layers tagged “not certain from listing” are general, caveated commentary where the public description didn’t pin that layer.

L1 · Foundation Models✓ mapped

Relies on Anthropic foundation models to generate, optimize, and evaluate skill code. Vulnerable to prompt injection that could bias skill generation or inject malicious code into scaffolded outputs.

L2 · Data Operations✓ mapped

Handles local codebase files, skill folders, and evaluation datasets. Risks include unauthorized access to sensitive local code or poisoning of evaluation datasets to mask malicious skill behavior.

L3 · Agent Frameworks✓ mapped

Orchestrates the creation and optimization of tools/skills. Insecure tool integration or logic flaws in the framework could allow generated skills to execute unauthorized system commands during the evaluation phase.

L4 · Deployment & Infrastructure⚠ not certain from listing

Not certain from the listing — The execution environment for running evaluation harnesses and benchmarking is unspecified. If evals run in the host environment without strict containerization or sandboxing, it poses a severe risk of local privilege escalation or host compromise.

L5 · Evaluation & Observability✓ mapped

Features built-in evaluation and variance analysis. However, if the evaluation harness itself is compromised, it could report false positives or game the benchmarks to hide degraded or malicious skill performance.

L6 · Security & Compliance (cross-cutting)⚠ not certain from listing

Not certain from the listing — No explicit security controls, access policies, or compliance frameworks (like NIST or ISO) are mentioned for managing the execution of untrusted generated code.

L7 · Agent Ecosystem✓ mapped

Directly impacts the broader agent ecosystem by authoring and publishing new skills. A compromise here acts as a supply-chain threat, potentially distributing backdoored skills to other agents in the ecosystem.
