Security audit

Hithink Sector Selector

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill sends sector-screening queries to the disclosed iWenCai financial API using an API key, with no evidence of hidden persistence, exfiltration, or destructive behavior.

Install this only if you are comfortable sending your sector-screening queries to iWenCai using an IWENCAI_API_KEY. Avoid putting confidential trading strategies or account identifiers in queries, and review any optional use of other finance or search tools when the primary API data is insufficient.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The skill clearly requires network access and reads an API key from the environment, yet no declared permissions are present. This creates a transparency and policy-enforcement gap: a host may not properly gate or warn about sensitive capabilities, increasing the chance of unintended secret access and external data transmission.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding
The documentation authorizes the skill to call other financial or search tools when its own data is insufficient, which expands behavior beyond the stated sector-screening purpose. That scope creep can route user queries and derived financial intent to additional tools or services without clear boundaries, increasing data exposure and reducing least-privilege control.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs sending user-supplied queries to an external API using authenticated requests, but it does not require any user-facing disclosure that query contents will leave the local environment. Users may unknowingly transmit sensitive financial interests, strategies, or identifiers to a third party, creating privacy and compliance risk.
