Alphagbm Bps Backtest

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed AlphaGBM backtesting helper that sends strategy parameters to an API, with no local code execution, persistence, or hidden privilege behavior found.

Before installing, treat this as a remote financial-research integration: only use it when you intend to spend an AlphaGBM option-analysis credit and share the ticker, date range, and strategy parameters with the AlphaGBM service. It does not show local execution or persistence behavior in the inspected artifact.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Vague Triggers

Medium

Confidence
87% confidence
Finding

The trigger phrases are broad enough to match ordinary financial discussion rather than clearly delimited skill-invocation intent. That can cause unintended activation of a remote backtesting workflow, leading to unexpected API calls, compute consumption, and transmission of user-supplied strategy parameters when the user may only be asking a general question.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The skill documents a POST request to a remote API but does not warn users that their ticker, dates, and strategy parameters will be transmitted off-platform. In a finance context, those inputs can reveal trading interests or research behavior, so the missing disclosure creates a privacy and consent issue even if the payload is not highly sensitive by default.
