21929v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent skills extend coding agents with task-specific instructions, scripts, and resources, but they also create a trusted instruction channel that can be abused beyond conventional security attacks. This paper studies token amplification through skill injection: an economic resource-abuse threat in which a malicious skill causes an agent to consume substantially more tokens than needed for normal task execution.
AI-assisted vulnerability discovery is accelerating the pace of security flaws faster than traditional patching cycles can manage. Canonical announced on 2026-09-24 that Ubuntu will move to weekly kernel releases to address the expanding CVE flood.
