Einstein Research Suite

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a disclosed skill-pack manifest that manually installs a suite of finance research skills, with a supply-chain caveat because the referenced skills are not pinned or included for review.

Before installing, review the 11 referenced skills individually and prefer pinned or verified versions when available, especially because financial research skills may influence trading decisions. This pack itself does not contain executable code or hidden behavior, but the installed component skills determine the actual runtime behavior.

Vulnerability Patterns

Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
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
