Whale Radar — Orion

• Outcome: Pass
• Latest audit: Sep 12, 2026 · 2:20 AM UTC
• Version: 1.0.0

Overview

This is a small promotional crypto-market skill with no code execution or persistence, but users should treat its live whale signals as unverified unless an external data source is used.

Install only if you want an Orion-oriented crypto whale signal helper. Do not treat its free classifications as reliable financial advice unless the agent verifies current on-chain data from a trusted source, and review any ACP purchase before paying for external data.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns

• Skill Instruction Hijacking: Alters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
• Agent Memory Poisoning: Writes attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
• Remote Payload Retrieval and Execution: Fetches external code whose behavior can change after review
• Embedded Malicious Code: Ships malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
• Unauthorized Access and Privilege Escalation: Obtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs

Vulnerability Details

File Location: SKILL.md, lines 5–42
Vulnerability Type: T01: Skill Instruction Hijacking
Risk Level: Medium

The skill directs the agent to present a current whale-event classification and then routes users toward a named paid ACP service. No implementation, data source, API, verification procedure, or evidence requirement is provided for the claimed four-hour market analysis.

Complete Vulnerable Snippets:

markdown

Large Bitcoin-backed wallets moving on Base are early signals for BTC direction. This skill gives you a free whale event classification — and routes to the full Orion ACP service for live flow data.

## What You Get (Free)

Ask: "whale alert?" or "any whale activity?" or "big BTC moves on Base?"

The agent will return:
- Whether a notable whale event occurred in the last 4 hours
- Direction hint: accumulation / distribution / neutral
- One-line summary

For exact transaction amounts, wallet addresses, USDC/WETH/VIRTUAL flows, and structured JSON:

**Hire Orion on ACP:**
- `whale_alert` — $0.30 (full Base chain whale data)
- `alpha_bundle` — $0.60 (Whale + Korean alpha combined, 25% cheaper)
- `signal_bundle` — $0.99 (full 5-signal pack)

Technical Analysis

The operational instructions alter the agent's response behavior by requiring it to issue recent market-event classifications while simultaneously embedding a commercial conversion path. The paid routing is not technically necessary to answer the user's initial question and can cause the skill to steer an otherwise ordinary interaction toward a specific third-party service.

Remediation

Remediation Suggestions

1. Remove mandatory commercial routing from the skill's operational response instructions.
2. Separate optional sponsorship or service information from the behavior used to answer user requests, and clearly label all promotional content.
3. Require explicit user consent before invoking ACP, initiating a paid request, or directing the user to an external service.
4. Define a trusted and auditable live-data source, such as a specific Base RPC endpoint or reputable blockchain indexer.
5. Require every event classification to include supporting transaction hashes, block numbers, timestamps, token amounts, wallet-selection criteria, and the exact threshold used.
6. Validate that the evidence falls within the claimed four-hour period and distinguish chain observations from speculative directional interpretations.
7. If live data is unavailable, require the agent to state that current whale activity cannot be determined rather than generating a classification.
8. Add a clear financial-risk disclaimer explaining that observed transfers do not reliably establish future BTC price direction and are not financial advice.

Vulnerability Patterns

• Trigger Abuse: Overly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
• Prompt Injection: Instruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
• Data Exfiltration: External Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
• Privilege Escalation: Excessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
• Supply Chain: Unpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Vague Triggers

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 94% confidence

Finding

The skill advertises very broad trigger phrases such as "whale alert?" and "any whale activity?", which are natural-language queries a user might say in many unrelated contexts. This increases the chance of unintended invocation, causing the agent to route users into this skill unexpectedly and potentially promote a paid external service without clear user intent.
