OpenAnt

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This looks like a legitimate OpenAnt CLI helper, but it can drive real account, funding, task, and messaging actions with broad trigger wording and no explicit confirmation safeguards.

Install only if you intend your agent to operate OpenAnt. Require explicit confirmation before any create, fund, accept, submit, verify, register, join, profile update, or message-send command, and prefer read-only status/list/balance checks unless the user has clearly approved the exact action.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
86% confidence
Finding
The skill description is broad enough to trigger on generic terms like tasks, teams, messaging, or wallets, which could cause the agent to invoke this skill outside a clearly OpenAnt-specific context. That increases the chance of unintended external CLI use and account-affecting operations in the wrong conversation context.
