Bios Deep Research

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed BIOS research API integration with optional crypto-payment setup, and its sensitive behaviors are purpose-aligned and user-directed.

Install only if you are comfortable sending research questions to BIOS and, if using x402, managing a dedicated low-balance wallet outside the agent. Prefer API-key auth or a managed/hardware signer, pin and review signer dependencies, and never paste a real wallet private key into source code or chat.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • 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
