It includes positions opened manually or by other trading strategies. Once the market price reaches `EXIT_THRESHOLD`, live mode passes the unrelated position's market identifier and share count to `execute_trade()` and submits a sell order. This exceeds the minimum privileges necessary for the declared functionality. The Skill only needs authority to manage positions that it created, but the implementation can manage any rate-related position visible through the authenticated account. ### Attack Path 1. A user or another strategy opens a Fed-rate position in the same Simmer account. 2. The position does not contain `TRADE_SOURCE` in its source metadata. 3. Its question satisfies `is_rate_market()`. 4. Its current price reaches or exceeds `EXIT_THRESHOLD`. 5. The user runs `python trader.py --live`, or a managed live execution invokes the Skill. 6. `check_exits()` classifies the unrelated position as a Skill-managed position. 7. The Skill submits a sell order for all detected shares. No external attacker is required; the vulnerability is triggered by ordinary coexistence with another strategy or manually managed position. ### Impact Assessment The Skill can perf ...[truncated 470 chars]- Remediation
