Security audit

Twelve Data

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a coherent Twelve Data connector, but its setup instructions direct users to execute remote installer scripts directly in a shell.

Review the setup path before installing. Prefer an official, version-pinned, signed or checksum-verified oo CLI installer instead of running a downloaded script directly in Bash or PowerShell, and only connect the Twelve Data account you intend this skill to use.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • 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
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs users to install software by piping a remotely fetched script directly into a shell (curl ... | bash). If the install endpoint, CDN path, TLS trust chain, or upstream distribution is compromised, arbitrary code would execute immediately on the user's machine with the user's privileges.

Finding

The description says to use this skill for "ANY Twelve Data request" and "Whenever a task involves Twelve Data," which is a broad activation condition without clear boundaries or exclusions. In a manifest, this can cause unintended invocation for loosely related mentions of Twelve Data rather than specific connector actions.
