Apex Evolution Insight Institutional

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is coherent for a paid crypto-signal service, but it should be reviewed because it uses an EVM private key to make an automatic USDC-paid request.

Use this only with a dedicated low-balance wallet on Base, not a primary wallet private key. Confirm you intend to pay for each call and understand apexrunner.ai may associate wallet address and call history with pricing tiers.

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

Finding

The skill explicitly instructs the agent to use an environment-provided EVM private key to perform an x402-authenticated paid request, but it does not clearly warn the user that this may authorize a paid on-chain wallet action and reveal wallet-linked metadata to the third-party service. In this context, the omission is security-relevant because the action involves real funds, credential use, and transaction-linked privacy exposure for a commercial crypto service.
