Security audit

Financial Report Interpreter

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a local, descriptive financial-statement helper with some broad wording and language inconsistency, but no hidden access, persistence, network use, or transaction authority.

Install only if you want a descriptive helper for understanding financial statements. Do not treat its outputs as professional accounting, tax, lending, or investment advice, and be aware that its broad triggers may make it appear for general finance questions unless narrowed by the user or publisher.

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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The trigger conditions are broad enough to match generic financial planning or guidance requests that are not specifically about interpreting financial statements. This can cause unintended activation, leading the agent to apply the wrong skill, produce misleading finance-related advice out of scope, or crowd out safer or more appropriate skills during routing.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The acceptance criteria state 'Clear documentation in English,' which imposes a specific language requirement in natural-language policy without any opt-in, alternative locale support, or stated regional/compliance justification. This matches the language/locale policy violation category for all file types.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
78% confidence
Finding

The README title and core description are primarily in Chinese, while some examples are in English, but the skill does not state whether users may choose their preferred language. Under the policy rule, forcing or implicitly assuming a language/locale without opt-in can be a natural-language policy issue unless the regional constraint is explicitly justified.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
86% confidence
Finding

The file includes a full usage scenario and expected output in Chinese, but does not explain that this is optional, user-selected, or limited to a Chinese-language context. That can conflict with language/locale policy expectations because the skill presents a specific language output mode without documenting user opt-in.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The manifest sets "language": "en", which imposes a specific language choice in the skill metadata. The file does not indicate that users can opt into other languages or that the English-only restriction is required for a documented region-specific or compliance reason.
