Sports Odds Scanner

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill makes a disclosed call to The Odds API to retrieve sports odds data and does not show hidden behavior, persistence, or unrelated data access.

Before installing, understand that the skill requires an API key for The Odds API and sends that key to api.the-odds-api.com when commands are run. Avoid enabling shell tracing or logging full command lines, rotate the key if it may have been logged, and consider tightening API quotas or permissions where the provider allows it.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • 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
