Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a disclosed Dow Theory analysis framework skill with no executable code, persistence, credential handling, or hidden high-impact behavior.

Installers should understand that this skill is an educational market-analysis framework, not an automated trading or financial-decision tool. Non-Chinese users may want clearer language preference handling before relying on it.

A.I.G

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
