World Cup 2026 Odds Tracker

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a simple odds lookup helper that calls The Odds API, with no hidden persistence or local data access.

Install only if you are comfortable providing an Odds API key. Treat the current skill as an outright World Cup winner futures lookup, not a complete sportsbook-versus-prediction-market comparison tool, and avoid sharing logs or transcripts that include the full curl URL with your key.

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

Finding

The manifest and usage text describe a broader capability set: aggregating across sportsbooks and prediction markets, tracking group stage and match odds, and comparing Polymarket with traditional books. In the actual code, the only operational example is one curl call to The Odds API endpoint for soccer_fifa_world_cup_winner with markets=outrights, which does not implement prediction-market access, Polymarket comparison, or match-line/group-stage retrieval.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The skill transmits a credential-bearing request to an external service by including the API key in the query string of a curl command. Even though contacting The Odds API is core to the skill's purpose, placing secrets in URLs increases exposure through shell history, process listings, logs, proxies, and monitoring systems that may capture full request URIs.
