Security audit

Budget Builder

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a coherent budgeting/reporting helper that reads QuickBooks financial data and writes local budget/report files, with no evidence of hidden or destructive behavior.

Install and run this only in a trusted environment with authorized QBO access. The generated Excel files and .cache/budget-builder JSON files can contain sensitive company financial data, so protect or clean them up according to your retention policy; pin dependencies before production use.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • 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

Finding

The skill does access sensitive financial data from QuickBooks Online and persists budget and CDC artifacts to local cache files, but the surfaced usage/description does not clearly warn users about that data flow or local retention. This can lead to accidental exposure of financial information on shared machines, developer workstations, or backups because users may invoke the skill without understanding where sensitive data is stored.
