Security audit

Zhentan

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

Zhentan is a coherent crypto security co-signer, but it gives chat-driven authority to execute on-chain transactions and change security controls without enough visible safeguards.

Install only if you trust the Zhentan service with the relevant Safe and have verified server-side authorization, transaction previews, audit logs, secret revocation, and safeguards for disabling screening or changing rules. Start with low-value assets or limited permissions before granting authority over important wallets.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
The skill description frames Zhentan as a transaction review/co-signer tool, but the documented commands also let the agent change global limits, risk thresholds, learning behavior, and create/update/delete security rules. That materially expands authority from reviewing transactions to rewriting the security policy that governs future approvals, which could let a compromised or overly-trusting agent weaken protections and enable unsafe auto-approvals.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

High
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
The statement that the agent handles owner commands by 'execute scripts' is dangerous because it introduces open-ended code execution behavior unrelated to the narrowly scoped API workflows otherwise described. In a Telegram-driven security co-signer context, ambiguous script execution could be abused to run unintended commands, bypass intended API controls, or expand the blast radius beyond transaction handling.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
The approve flow directly co-signs and executes an on-chain transaction but does not require an explicit user-facing warning that execution may be irreversible and may transfer assets immediately. In a wallet/co-signer skill, missing this warning increases the chance of accidental loss from misclicks, social engineering, or misunderstanding of what 'approve' does.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The skill allows screening to be turned off without a clear warning that this disables an important safety control and could permit risky transactions to proceed without analysis. Because the product is explicitly a security agent, disabling screening substantially changes the user's protection posture and should be treated as a sensitive action.
