Crypto Signals Daily

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a simple crypto market briefing prompt with financial-advice risk, but it does not install code, request credentials, persist, or execute trades.

Install only if you want market-prep text, not automated trading. Verify data independently, require human review before acting on any trade idea, and do not connect this output directly to portfolio or exchange actions without separate safeguards.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access

Finding

The skill explicitly promotes trading signal generation, trade ideas, and automated morning briefing without any warning about financial risk, model error, data quality, or the consequences of automation. In context, references to an 'autonomous trading fleet' and signal generation materially increase the danger because users or downstream agents may treat the output as actionable investment advice or feed it into automated trading workflows.

Vague Triggers

Finding

The invocation phrase 'Use crypto-signals-daily to get started' is broadly phrased and lacks any constraints on when, how, or by whom the skill should be used. In an agent ecosystem, overly generic triggers can cause accidental or context-inappropriate activation, which is more concerning here because the skill produces trading-related outputs that could influence financial decisions or automation.
