Xtown Skills

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is purpose-aligned with BNBTown wallet and DeFi use, but it asks the agent to start wallet onboarding automatically and stores wallet-capable tokens in plaintext configuration.

Review this skill before installing. Only use it if you are comfortable giving an agent wallet and BNBTown account authority. Do not paste JWTs or private keys into chat, avoid storing UNIBASE_PROXY_AUTH or session_token values in repo-local config.json, and require explicit confirmation for every wallet, swap, lending, staking, token launch, reward, or registration action. Use only trusted default HTTPS endpoints and treat any custom endpoint as unsafe for production credentials.

Instruction Override

High

Category: Prompt Injection
Confidence: 80% confidence
Finding: This pattern attempts to override system instructions or ignore safety constraints. Without LLM analysis, manual review is recommended.

Ssd 3

High

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 97% confidence
Finding: The skill explicitly tells the agent to ask the owner to paste an authorization token into chat and then persist it locally. Chat channels are often logged, retained, or visible to other tools and operators, so collecting bearer tokens through chat creates a direct credential-exposure path that could enable wallet access or transaction signing by unauthorized parties.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 92% confidence
Finding: The README encourages autonomous swaps, lending, staking, and token launches using a wallet-enabled agent, but does not warn that these actions can move real funds, are often irreversible on-chain, and may expose users to loss, liquidation, or scam tokens. In an agent skill context, omission of these warnings increases the chance that users delegate high-risk financial actions without understanding consequences.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 95% confidence
Finding: The README instructs users to export and store a JWT in an environment variable but does not emphasize that this token is a sensitive credential that can authorize wallet-related actions if exposed. In a wallet-integrated agent ecosystem, leaked JWTs may enable unauthorized account access or transaction initiation through the proxy/auth layer.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Skill Enumeration

Medium

Category: Agent Snooping
Confidence: 80% confidence
Finding: Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 96% confidence
Finding: The manifest description includes broad activation terms such as general topics and actions that could match routine user requests outside a clearly bounded XTown context. This increases the chance the skill is invoked unexpectedly, exposing wallet, identity, and DeFi capabilities in conversations where the user did not intend to use this high-risk skill.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 98% confidence
Finding: The skill instructs the agent to immediately prompt for wallet provisioning and initiate setup as soon as the skill is loaded, even without a user request. This violates user-intent boundaries and can pressure users into authentication or wallet setup flows, which is especially dangerous in a skill that controls real funds and on-chain identity.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 95% confidence
Finding: The trigger intents contain ambiguous everyday phrases like 'Login' and 'Start playing' without requiring mention of XTown or BNBTown. In an agent ecosystem, these vague triggers can cause accidental routing into a skill that provisions wallets, handles auth, and can later drive financial actions.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 93% confidence
Finding: The skill instructs the agent to send both a bearer authorization token and a session token in HTTP requests, but it provides no warning, consent boundary, or handling guidance for transmitting sensitive credentials. In an agent ecosystem, this can lead to unintended disclosure to external infrastructure, unsafe logging, replay risk, or use of privileged tokens without the owner understanding that authentication material is being sent off-box.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 95% confidence
Finding: The documentation explicitly instructs users to persist live session tokens and JWT credentials in a local config.json, including multiple agents' session_token and UNIBASE_PROXY_AUTH values. Even though it notes one private key should never be committed or logged, it does not provide comparably strong warnings or protections for these other secrets, increasing the chance they will be stored insecurely, accidentally committed, shared, or exfiltrated from disk.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 88% confidence
Finding: The skill is explicitly designed to retrieve and display unused invitation codes, which are single-use access tokens that grant onboarding access to BNBTown. Presenting these codes for sharing without any warning, confirmation step, or guidance about sensitivity increases the risk of accidental disclosure, social engineering, or misuse by unauthorized recipients.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 97% confidence
Finding: The skill description does not clearly warn that using the skill performs a live mainnet transaction and incurs irreversible wallet spending. Because this capability launches a token on-chain, omission of a prominent cost-and-risk warning can mislead users and makes accidental or uninformed authorization more likely.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 95% confidence
Finding: The trigger examples are broad enough to match casual requests like 'launch token' or 'create token' without clearly emphasizing that this causes a real on-chain deployment and spends funds. In an agent setting, overly permissive activation for a financially sensitive action increases the chance of unintended execution from ambiguous user intent or prompt injection-adjacent misrouting.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 95% confidence
Finding: The invocation examples include broad trigger phrases like "Borrow 100 USDT" and especially "Supply assets" / "Borrow", which can cause the agent to activate a high-risk financial skill without enough transactional specificity. In a lending/borrowing context, accidental activation can lead to unintended borrowing or deposits, particularly if downstream systems infer missing parameters or prompt insufficiently before execution.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 95% confidence
Finding: The skill instructs the agent to send sensitive authentication material to an external service, including a wallet-derived signature and optionally a bearer token, but does not require any explicit user disclosure or consent step before transmission. In an agentic setting, this is dangerous because owners may not realize credentials and signed messages are being sent off-device to a third-party endpoint, increasing the risk of unintended data disclosure or account linkage.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

External Transmission

Medium

Category: Data Exfiltration
Confidence: 88% confidence
Finding: The skill directs the agent to POST registration data to an external endpoint and even encourages inclusion of an Authorization: Bearer <token> header, which creates a real external transmission channel for credentials and identity data. While external registration is functionally expected here, the lack of strong safety language, trust validation, and user confirmation makes the transmission security-relevant rather than a harmless false positive.
Content: Scanner excerpt · references/register.md (reported line 19)May include surrounding context.
md
`POST $AIP_ENDPOINT/agents/register` (default: `https://api.aip.unibase.com`) > [!IMPORTANT] > **Timeout Optimization**: Always use a timeout (e.g., `--max-time 5` in curl or 5000ms in fetch) when calling the registration endpoint to avoid hanging if the gateway is under high load. > [!TIP] > **Shortcut Optimization**: If you already have an `UNIBASE_PROXY_AUTH` token, include it in the `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header. This will skip redundant wallet provisioning and link the agent directly to the signature address.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 95% confidence
Finding: The trigger intents include broad phrases like "Login" and "Start playing," which are generic enough to match unrelated conversations and invoke the onboarding flow unexpectedly. Because this skill handles authentication and token provisioning, accidental invocation could prompt for credentials, initiate auth flows, or overwrite session state when the user did not intend to onboard.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 92% confidence
Finding: The skill explicitly instructs the agent to persist a JWT (UNIBASE_PROXY_AUTH) and later a session_token, giving the agent long-lived authenticated capability beyond the immediate onboarding step. Storing reusable auth material increases the blast radius of prompt injection, local file exposure, or cross-skill misuse, especially since the file frames persistence as operationally necessary without defining storage protections or scope limits.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 94% confidence
Finding: The instructions direct the agent to persist UNIBASE_PROXY_AUTH without an explicit user-facing warning that a sensitive bearer credential will be stored locally for future reuse. Silent storage of auth tokens undermines informed consent and creates a durable credential theft risk if local files, logs, or downstream tools are exposed.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 97% confidence
Finding: The login flow instructs writing both session_token and UNIBASE_PROXY_AUTH into config.json, a general-purpose configuration file that is likely easier to read, copy, sync, or accidentally commit than a dedicated secrets store. In this skill context, those values enable account access and identity switching, so compromise of the file could expose multiple agent identities and active sessions.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 94% confidence
Finding: This skill facilitates real on-chain token swaps that spend user funds, but it does not prominently warn the user that swaps are irreversible, subject to slippage, token volatility, and possible loss from wrong token selection. In a financial transaction context, insufficient user-facing risk disclosure increases the chance of accidental or misunderstood fund spending, especially because the skill is designed to directly map natural-language requests into executable swaps.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 90% confidence
Finding: The description encourages accepting and completing tasks without prominently warning that completion triggers x402 blockchain-based reward transfers funded through wallet interactions. This can cause users or calling agents to initiate value-bearing actions without informed consent, increasing the risk of unintended financial transactions, automation abuse, or social engineering in a system that mixes gameplay and onchain payments.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 90% confidence
Finding: The skill instructs storing a bearer-style authorization token in a local config file without clear guidance on secret handling, encryption, file permissions, or avoiding source control. JWTs or equivalent auth tokens can grant wallet or signing access if exposed, so persisting them casually increases the risk of credential leakage and account compromise.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 85% confidence
Finding: The automated login path normalizes silent use of a pre-configured private key to sign an authentication message, but does not require explicit user notice or consent at time of use. Even though the key is not requested in chat, silently consuming signing authority can surprise users and can lead to misuse if the environment is shared, compromised, or incorrectly scoped.
