熔岩 Lava

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill coherently describes read-only stock-news research through Lava, with disclosed API credentials and usage charges.

Your stock names, concepts, keywords, and time ranges will be sent to Lava, and calls may incur disclosed usage charges. Avoid confidential client or investment information in queries and protect your API key. This review covers the bundled instructions and metadata, not the remote service's implementation or data-retention practices.

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
  • Output HandlingUnvalidated Output Injection, Cross-Context Output, Unbounded Output
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access

Finding

The workflow instructs the agent to submit stock names, concepts, and tracking keywords to Lava's remote MCP service. Although the endpoint and request charges are documented, the skill does not warn that these user-provided terms will leave the conversation and be transmitted to the third-party provider, potentially revealing investment research interests.
