Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a read-only financial research skill with no local file access, persistence, or trading authority, though users should treat its cross-source “convergence” language as research context rather than advice.

Install only if you are comfortable sending ticker and manager research queries to SentiSense with a SentiSense API key. Treat the output as lagged 13F research data, not as trading advice, and avoid relying on the skill's convergence language as a buy, sell, or confidence signal.

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 phrase encouraging users to treat cross-skill convergence as a 'high-conviction read' pushes the skill beyond neutral data retrieval into signal-generation language that can steer trading decisions. In a financial research skill, this weakens the stated 'informational only' boundary and can cause downstream agents to present composite investment suggestions as if they were sanctioned by the skill.

Intent-Code Divergence

Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The workflow instructs the agent to surface converging institutional, congressional, and insider signals, which operationally resembles multi-factor trade idea generation. Even without direct order execution, this creates a pathway for an agent to provide actionable investment-style guidance while the document simultaneously claims it is not advisory.

Finding

The 'When to Use' section presents general natural-language prompts such as 'Who owns $NVDA?' and 'What did Berkshire Hathaway buy and sell last quarter?' but does not define any explicit activation boundaries or exclusion conditions. In a manifest/markdown skill description, this can make invocation scope overly broad for ordinary stock-research questions that may or may not require this specific skill.
