Groww

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is clearly for Groww stock trading, but it gives an agent live order-placement and cancellation paths without documented confirmation safeguards.

Install only if you intend to let an agent access your Groww account and potentially place or cancel trades. Use a restricted key if Groww supports it, keep trading disabled unless needed, and require explicit human confirmation for every buy, sell, or cancel request.

A.I.G

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

Credential Access

High
Category
Privilege Escalation
Content
## Setup

1. Get API key from Groww app: Stocks → Settings → API Trading → Generate API key
2. Add to OpenClaw config:
   ```bash
   openclaw configure
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding
Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.

Missing User Warnings

High
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
The skill documents direct order placement and cancellation flows, including market orders, without requiring explicit user confirmation, order-parameter verification, or any warning about irreversible financial consequences. In an agent setting, this increases the chance of unintended or prompt-induced trades, making the skill materially riskier than a read-only market-data integration.

**Order Status:**
Confidence
78% confidence
Finding
Unlike the read-only endpoints, this external transmission creates a live trade using an authenticated brokerage token. In the context of an autonomous or semi-autonomous agent, documenting a direct order-creation call without enforced confirmation or guardrails materially raises the risk of unauthorized or accidental financial transactions.

Confidence
76% confidence
Finding
This authenticated external transmission cancels an order, which is a state-changing account action with possible financial consequences. In an agent skill, presenting a direct cancellation call without mandatory confirmation or anti-abuse controls can lead to unauthorized disruption of user trading activity.
