Convertible Bond Research

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a disclosed Chinese-language convertible-bond research workflow that uses a market-data MCP and web search, with no evidence of hidden execution, persistence abuse, or data theft.

Install this only if you intend to use anchor-data.cn for convertible-bond market data and are comfortable storing an anchor-data API key in your WorkBuddy MCP configuration. Expect bond queries and related parameters to go to that external service, and treat generated reports as research support rather than financial advice.

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
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The manifest description and nearly all instructional content are written exclusively in Chinese, and the skill prescribes locale-specific presentation conventions such as Chinese market color semantics. There is no indication that the user can opt into another language, which can violate a language/locale choice policy for general-purpose skills.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
50% confidence
Finding

Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.
