Fear Greed
Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk
Overview
The skill is coherent, but it asks an agent to use a wallet private key for automatic paid requests without clear spending controls or confirmation guidance.
Review this before installing. Use only a dedicated low-balance wallet for this skill, never a primary wallet or treasury key, and require manual confirmation or external spend limits before allowing repeated calls.
Vulnerability Patterns
- Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
- 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

- Finding
The skill instructs the agent to make an automatically authorized paid request using a blockchain private key from the environment, but it does not include an explicit warning that this can spend user funds or guidance for secure handling of wallet credentials. In an agent ecosystem, this is dangerous because merely invoking the skill may trigger real monetary transactions and encourages direct use of a high-value secret in application code.
