Verified Trading Bot Reputation: Building Cryptographic PnL Proof

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a non-executable guide, but its examples mishandle sensitive keys and blur sandbox versus production API use.

Review carefully before installing or following the examples. Do not print or paste private signing keys into terminals, chats, logs, notebooks, or CI output; store them in a proper secret store and rotate any key generated with this example. Use a clearly chosen sandbox or production base URL, verify whether an API key is actually required, and avoid sending real trading metrics or credentials until the environment is explicit.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • 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

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The guide states that the sandbox requires no API key, yet the examples consistently use bearer-token authorization. This mismatch can mislead users into supplying credentials unnecessarily or trusting inaccurate setup instructions, which increases the risk of credential misuse and unsafe onboarding decisions.

Intent-Code Divergence

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The narrative claims the examples target the sandbox, but the Python examples use the production hostname. This can cause users to send test data, identifiers, or real credentials to production unexpectedly, creating risk of unintended data exposure, account changes, and operational mistakes.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The sample code prints the newly generated Ed25519 private key directly to stdout. Secrets printed to terminals are commonly captured in shell history, logs, CI output, notebook cells, screenshots, or copied into insecure storage, which can lead to full identity compromise for the agent.
