Security audit

Apex Evolution Insight Institutional

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This paid crypto-signal skill is coherent, but it lets an agent use a wallet private key for automatic $30 paid calls without clear confirmation or spending limits.

Install only if you are comfortable allowing an agent to use an EVM wallet key for paid x402 calls. Use a dedicated low-balance Base wallet, expect $30 per call before discounts, and require your agent to ask before every paid request.

Finding
The skill explicitly instructs the agent to use an environment-provided EVM private key to make an x402-authenticated request and states that payment authorization happens automatically, but it does not present any explicit warning, consent gate, spending limit, or key-handling precautions. This creates a real risk of unintended financial spend and unsafe exposure of a highly sensitive credential in an agent context, especially because the skill is commercial and normalizes direct wallet-backed payment execution.
