Security audit

Presage

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed, read-only Presage market analysis integration, with a privacy note around portfolio lookups but no evidence of hidden, destructive, or persistent behavior.

Install only if you are comfortable with the skill sending market and agent ID queries to Presage and returning portfolio-style data to your agent. Treat portfolio results, balances, positions, P&L, and trade reasoning as sensitive even though the skill is read-only and does not execute trades.

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
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • MCP Least PrivilegeUnderdeclared Capability, Wildcard Permission, Missing Permission Declaration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The skill advertises and demonstrates network access to external endpoints but does not declare any explicit tool scope such as allowed-tools or permissions. This creates a capability/transparency gap: a host agent or reviewer may treat the skill as less privileged than it really is, increasing the chance that unreviewed outbound requests are permitted to arbitrary URLs or expanded later without policy visibility.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The getPortfolio function fetches agent-specific portfolio data from a remote endpoint using only an agentId, with no evidence of user consent, access control checks, or disclosure before retrieving potentially sensitive financial information. In a trading and portfolio-tracking skill, this creates a real privacy risk because an agent or caller may access or expose account balances, positions, and trade history more broadly than the user expects.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Confidence
87% confidence
Finding
The README advertises `getPortfolio(agentId)` and portfolio viewing features without warning that invoking the tool may expose sensitive financial information such as balances, positions, and P&L to the agent, logs, or other integrations. In an agent environment, even read-only portfolio data can be privacy-sensitive and could be unintentionally disclosed, retained, or used for profiling.
