Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

ClawScan rates this skill benign with high confidence: the completed scans found no malicious behavior, but flagged broad invocation guidance that could trigger unnecessary market-signal requests.

The scan covered the one reported component completely and found no malicious behavior, but the invocation-scope concern remains. Before installing, consider whether you are comfortable with guidance that may prompt unnecessary market-signal requests outside market-analysis tasks.

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
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
Findings (1)

Invocation guidance includes agent loops and latency reduction without limiting them to market-analysis tasks.

Finding

“At the start of an agent decision loop” and “To reduce latency” are broad activation conditions that do not explicitly require a need for the bundled market signals. These conditions could cause unnecessary paid requests in unrelated workflows or on every loop iteration.
