Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill’s trading, local wallet signing, and token-publication workflows fit its stated purpose, with no concrete evidence of hidden or unrelated behavior.

Use a dedicated wallet with limited funds, protect its backup files, and verify transaction amounts, recipients, and fees before signing. Treat uploaded token images and metadata as public and potentially persistent. Review the live API instructions before funding; they were unavailable during this inspection.

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
  • Output HandlingUnvalidated Output Injection, Cross-Context Output, Unbounded Output
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Finding

The launch workflow instructs the agent to send image and metadata to the TrenchyTools IPFS endpoint. It does not warn that this content leaves the user's machine and may become publicly accessible or persist beyond the user's control.
