Payment Gateway Optimizer

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a static payment-gateway comparison guide with no code execution, persistence, or hidden access behavior.

Before relying on the fee tables or market-share figures, verify them against current official processor pricing pages and your own merchant agreements; otherwise the skill appears safe to install as a documentation-only advisory skill.

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
  • 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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Finding
This reference presents concrete gateway pricing data without an explicit freshness or verification disclaimer, which can mislead users into relying on outdated fee schedules for pricing, processor selection, or contract negotiations. In a payment optimization skill, stale fee data can directly distort cost comparisons and business decisions, even though it does not create a direct software exploit path.
