BotSpot Trading

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This trading skill is coherent, but live broker deployment could affect real money and the artifact does not clearly require explicit user confirmation or warn about rapid financial loss before deployment.

Review this carefully before installing. Use paper trading or a sandbox account first, confirm the exact broker account and permissions granted through OAuth, and do not allow live deployment unless you explicitly approve the strategy, position sizing, risk limits, and order behavior.

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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Finding

The skill explicitly promotes live deployment to real brokers but does not present a clear, prominent warning at the point of that capability about real-money loss, order execution, and automation risk. In a finance/trading context, this omission can lead users to treat deployment as routine and proceed without understanding that generated strategies may place real trades and incur immediate financial losses.
