Crypto Price Alerter

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward crypto price checker that uses CoinGecko for market data and does not show hidden persistence, credential access, trading execution, or destructive behavior.

Install only if you are comfortable sending crypto symbols and selected currencies to CoinGecko for price lookups. Treat the generated technical signals as informational, not financial advice, and be aware the broad triggers may activate the skill for generic crypto or trading mentions.

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
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The trigger list contains broad terms such as "BTC," "ETH," "alert," and "trading," which are likely to appear in many unrelated conversations and can cause the skill to invoke when the user did not explicitly request it. Overbroad invocation increases the chance of unintended tool use, irrelevant financial analysis, and confusing or misleading responses in a sensitive domain involving trading decisions.
