Atxp

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is clearly about agent payments and paid tools, but it gives the agent high-impact wallet, email, and credential authority with limited registry disclosure and no per-transaction human approval.

Install only if you intentionally want an agent to have a funded ATXP identity and paid-tool access. Keep balances small, protect ATXP_CONNECTION and ~/.atxp/config, pin or review the npm CLI if possible, and require explicit review before spending funds or sending email.

#
ASI02: Tool Misuse and Exploitation
High
What this means

An agent could spend deposited funds or call paid tools autonomously if the user enables and funds the account.

Why it was flagged

The skill is designed to let an agent spend from a funded balance without per-transaction human approval, which is high-impact financial authority even though it matches the product purpose.

Skill content
The agent controls its own balance. No human approval per transaction.
Recommendation

Only fund the wallet with limited amounts, monitor usage, and require explicit user approval in your own workflow before spending or sending paid requests.

#
ASI03: Identity and Privilege Abuse
High
What this means

Anyone or anything that obtains this token could control the agent's ATXP wallet and identity.

Why it was flagged

The credential grants full wallet and identity access. The registry metadata provided for review says required env vars and primary credential are none, so this sensitive authority is under-declared outside the skill text.

Skill content
`ATXP_CONNECTION` is a **sensitive secret** that grants full access to the agent's wallet and identity.
Recommendation

Treat ATXP_CONNECTION and ~/.atxp/config like payment credentials; avoid sharing them, rotate them if exposed, and verify the registry metadata before installation.

#
ASI04: Agentic Supply Chain Vulnerabilities
Medium
What this means

The behavior depends on the current npm package version at execution time.

Why it was flagged

The skill relies on an external npm package fetched as @latest. That is common for CLI-based integrations, but the reviewed artifact set contains no code files, so the actual CLI behavior is not locally verified here.

Skill content
`npx atxp@latest login`
Recommendation

Prefer a pinned package version where possible and review the upstream package/source before giving it wallet or email authority.

#
ASI01: Agent Goal Hijack
Low
What this means

Search results, tweets, emails, or attachments could try to trick the agent into taking unintended actions.

Why it was flagged

The skill intentionally retrieves web, X/Twitter, and email content that may contain prompt injection. The artifact explicitly warns the agent to treat that content as untrusted.

Skill content
`npx atxp@latest search <query>` | Web pages — may contain adversarial text
Recommendation

Keep the documented guardrails: do not execute commands from retrieved content and do not let external messages change the task or security rules.

#
ASI07: Insecure Inter-Agent Communication
Medium
What this means

If misused, the agent could send private task data, credentials, or received content to external email addresses.

Why it was flagged

Outbound email is a deliberate feature and the skill includes exfiltration guardrails, but arbitrary-recipient messaging can move sensitive data outside the user's environment.

Skill content
The `email send` command can transmit data to arbitrary addresses.
Recommendation

Require user review for outbound email, never send secrets, and avoid forwarding untrusted inbound content.
