Security audit

Polymarket Scout — Orion

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This markdown-only skill gives speculative BTC prediction-market sentiment and promotes a paid Orion analysis, with no code, persistence, credential access, or authority to trade.

Install only if you want speculative BTC and prediction-market commentary. Do not treat the output or the paid Orion offerings as financial advice, and confirm before using any paid ACP service or acting on market signals.

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

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The skill explicitly promotes real-money betting and BTC trading signals without any warning about financial risk, uncertainty, or that outputs are not investment advice. In context, this is made more dangerous by persuasive language like 'Real money is betting on BTC direction right now' and references to strongest signals and paid upgrades, which can encourage users to act on speculative market output without adequate caution.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The trigger phrases are broad and colloquial, such as asking what the crowd is betting on, which increases the chance the skill activates outside a clearly intentional request for this specific capability. Unintended activation is more concerning here because the skill produces trading-oriented sentiment about BTC, so accidental routing could expose users to speculative financial guidance they did not explicitly seek.
