Security audit
News Based Stock Research Skill
Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk
Overview
This skill is a Markdown-only finance research helper that stays focused on public news analysis and paper-trading education.
This appears safe to install as a research aid, but users should treat its stock outputs as educational watchlist material only, verify current prices and filings independently, and avoid sharing brokerage credentials or private financial details. The skill includes a disclosed PayPal donation link, which is unrelated to runtime behavior.
Vulnerability Patterns
- 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
- Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
Vulnerability Patterns
- Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
- Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
- Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
- Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
- Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
