Pane

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a clearly disclosed Pane integration for viewing linked personal finance data, with sensitive access expected for its purpose.

Install only if you trust Pane and its hosted MCP service with your linked financial data. Use Pane privacy scopes to limit exposed accounts, keep PANE_API_KEY private, and do not store passwords, full account numbers, or secrets in persistent annotations.

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
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Finding

This skill connects to a hosted third-party service and enables access to extremely sensitive financial information including bank accounts, transactions, liabilities, investments, and crypto holdings, yet the description does not prominently warn users about the sensitivity and external transmission of that data. In this context, insufficient upfront disclosure can cause users to authorize or use the skill without informed consent, increasing privacy, compliance, and data-handling risk.
