The agent skills supply chain is under coordinated attack. Snyk's ToxicSkills audit found 36% of ClawHub's 3,984 skills contain prompt injection payloads, 13.4% have critical malware, and submission rates exploded 10x to 500+/day. This week alone: CVE-2026-2256 (CVSS 9.1) is a critical RCE in Microsoft's Agent Framework via crafted MCP tool responses, CVE-2025-59536 hits Claude Code config files, and 30+ MCP-related CVEs have been published in 2026. Meanwhile, SOUL.md memory poisoning creates persistent backdoors that survive skill uninstallation. Action: Audit every installed agent skill immediately. Run mcp-scan on your MCP servers. Pin versions. Treat agent skills like untrusted code — because one in three of them is.
