Trading Strategies

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a trading reference skill with high-risk financial content, but I found no hidden code, credential collection, automatic trading, or persistence in the artifact.

Install only if you want a trading research and system-design reference. Do not let an agent place live trades or use broker/exchange API keys unless you separately implement explicit approvals, paper-trading validation, withdrawal-disabled keys, limits, and compliance checks; treat outputs as informational, not financial advice.

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

Confidence

Finding

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

### Critical Crypto Trading Rules
- NEVER enable withdrawal permissions on API keys
- Whitelist your IP on centralized exchanges
- Store keys in .env files, never hardcoded
- Use testnet/paper trading first
- Rotate API keys every few months
- Run on dedicated machine (not personal computer)

Finding

The skill explicitly says it should be used for 'making trading decisions' but does not include a clear disclaimer that the material is educational/informational only and not financial advice. In an agent setting, that omission can cause over-reliance on model-generated outputs for regulated, high-risk financial decisions, increasing legal, compliance, and user-harm risk.
