Stock Screener

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward stock-screener API helper with disclosed network use and a minor packaging risk from an unpinned Python dependency.

Install only if you are comfortable querying Intellectia's API for stock screener data. Use an isolated Python environment where possible, consider pinning requests before installation, and treat the returned market predictions as informational rather than financial advice.

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
