Security audit

BTC Direction — Orion

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a promotional Bitcoin trading-signal prompt that may lead users to rely on unsupported market direction claims or paid third-party services before making trades.

Review this carefully before installing. It does not execute code or access your system, but it is designed to influence BTC trading decisions and upsell paid signal products. Do not treat its UP/DOWN/NEUTRAL output as financial advice unless the publisher adds auditable data sources, freshness checks, calculation details, and clear risk disclosures.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 96% confidence
Finding: The skill promotes buy/sell-adjacent BTC direction signals and says it is "designed as a gate condition — run before every execution," but does not include a clear trading-risk warning. That omission increases the chance users over-rely on speculative output as investment advice, especially given the low-cost upsell and framing around execution decisions.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 94% confidence
Finding: The skill advertises broad natural-language trigger phrases such as "BTC direction?" and "should I buy BTC?", which can cause unintended invocation in ordinary conversation about markets. In a trading context, accidental activation is riskier than generic Q&A because the output may be treated as actionable financial guidance at the moment of execution.
