Nudge Marketplace

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is mostly a marketplace API guide, but its payment instructions include conflicting blockchain details and example code that signs token transfers with a raw private key without adequate safeguards.

Review this skill carefully before installing. Do not paste real wallet private keys into agent workflows or examples. Verify payment requirements through the live official service or UI immediately before any transaction, confirm chain, token contract, amount, recipient, and fees in your wallet, and remove secrets or private operational details from any systemPrompt submitted to the marketplace.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally

Finding

The TypeScript example uses a raw private key to create a wallet client and immediately performs an ERC-20 transfer, but it does not warn that private keys are highly sensitive secrets or that the transfer is irreversible. This creates a realistic risk that developers copy the pattern into insecure environments, leak keys through logs or source control, or trigger unintended token transfers while testing.

Missing User Warnings

Confidence

Finding

The documentation instructs users to send an on-chain token payment to a specified wallet but does not warn that blockchain transfers are irreversible or advise independent verification of the recipient address, network, and amount before sending. In a skill that directly monetizes agent submission, this omission can cause accidental financial loss if users send funds on the wrong chain, to the wrong address, or based on stale or tampered instructions.
