Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a local educational trading-analysis helper, with no evidence of hidden network transmission or destructive behavior.

Install only if you are comfortable running a local Bash/Python helper that prints educational trading analysis. Treat its outputs as research aids, not financial advice, and verify any market data or trading decision independently.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • MCP Least PrivilegeUnderdeclared Capability, Wildcard Permission, Missing Permission Declaration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Undeclared Tool Scope

Medium
Category
MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill exposes shell-based commands in its documentation, but the manifest declares no explicit tool scope or permissions boundary. This creates an authorization ambiguity: an agent or platform may enable shell execution without a clearly declared least-privilege policy, increasing the risk of unintended command execution or unsafe future changes.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
60% confidence
Finding

Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.
