Yfinance

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a disclosed local Yahoo Finance data connector, with normal caution needed around running its local web server.

Install this only if you want a local Yahoo Finance connector. For local use, prefer binding the server to 127.0.0.1, keep port 8000 off the public internet, stop the uvicorn process when finished, and use explicit market suffixes or auto_jk=false for non-Indonesian tickers.

Missing User Warnings

Finding
The skill instructs the agent to start a local web server in the background and separately install dependencies, but it does not clearly warn that this launches a persistent process and modifies the environment. In an agent setting, silent process creation and package installation can surprise users, consume resources, and expand attack surface if done automatically.
