fintech-specialist

SuspiciousAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.

Overview

The skill is mostly a coherent fintech reference, but a bundled example file is flagged as containing a hardcoded client secret, which needs review before use.

Review the example file for real secrets before installing or using this skill. If any credential is real, rotate it immediately and replace it with an environment-variable placeholder. Treat the payment and crypto examples as educational only, and use sandbox/test accounts unless you have explicit approval for production financial actions.

Findings (2)

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

If adapted carelessly, the example code could interact with real payment systems or financial records.

Why it was flagged

The reference material demonstrates payment API integration and payment-processing logic. This is aligned with a fintech specialist skill, but these patterns are high-impact if a user copies and runs them with live credentials.

Skill content
const stripe = new Stripe(config.stripe.secretKey, ...); ... async processPayment(request: any)
Recommendation

Use examples only with test credentials and explicit human review before any production payment, transfer, or account mutation.

ASI03: Identity and Privilege Abuse
What this means

If the redacted value is a real secret, anyone with the skill package could misuse or leak access to an associated service or account.

Why it was flagged

The static scan reports this as a hardcoded API secret or token. A reference-only fintech skill should not include real credential material, and the metadata declares no required credentials.

Skill content
clientSecret: [REDACTED],
Recommendation

Inspect references/examples.md before installing or sharing, remove any real secrets, rotate/revoke exposed credentials, and replace literals with environment-variable placeholders.
