Security audit

Market Structure Scan

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed market-analysis prompt that fetches public market data and does not execute trades or access private data.

Before installing, understand that the skill may browse external market-data websites when triggered and may activate on the short phrase "mss". Treat its signals as informational analysis only, verify prices and timezones independently, and do not rely on it as financial advice.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • 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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The single-token trigger "mss" is ambiguous and can easily collide with unrelated user input, abbreviations, or domain-specific shorthand. Because the skill then attempts to fetch live data from external sites, accidental activation can create unnecessary browsing behavior and unexpected financial-analysis responses.

Finding

Forcing output to always use EST/Maryland time without user opt-in is a real policy and UX issue because it can misrepresent timing context for users in other locales, especially in a time-sensitive trading workflow. In financial analysis, timestamp ambiguity can increase confusion and lead to incorrect interpretation of market conditions, though it is not a direct security compromise.
