Security audit

EODHD CLI

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is mostly framed as a secret-safe EODHD CLI project, but its published package metadata claims a credentialed CLI entrypoint that is missing from the artifact.

Review this package before installing. Its security guidance is generally appropriate for an EODHD API wrapper, but the published artifact is internally inconsistent because the declared CLI entrypoint is missing while a required API credential is declared. Ask the publisher to ship the actual scripts/eodhd file and rerun package validation before trusting the runtime behavior.

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
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Finding
Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
