Security audit

Botcoin Miner

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill needs Review because it describes installing and running a cryptocurrency node with default CPU mining, but the installer and security-critical scripts are missing and one default weakens its patch-integrity claims.

Install only after reviewing the complete package, including install.sh and all referenced scripts. Treat default mining as an explicit opt-in decision, set START_MINER=0 unless you intend to mine, and require strict patch-hash validation before building or running node software.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • 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

Vague Triggers

Finding

The manifest describes powerful actions such as install, build, verify, mine, and update, but it does not state clear operator prompts, safety gates, or invocation constraints. In an agent setting, broad capability descriptions can cause over-trusting automation or unintended execution of high-impact actions like software installation, node operation, and mining.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill enables CPU mining by default via START_MINER=1 while the manifest lacks a prominent warning that it may consume system resources and run sustained compute workloads. This is dangerous because users or agents may trigger installation expecting node setup only, but instead start resource-intensive mining that can degrade performance, increase power usage, or violate hosting policies.
