Security audit

stock-terminal

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a read-only stock research skill that clearly discloses its API key use, optional CLI path, and bounded news-title fetching guidance.

Install this only if you are comfortable providing a SentiSense API key for read-only market data. Prefer environment-variable authentication unless you specifically want the CLI credential cache, and implement news headline fetching only with the hardened restrictions described in the skill.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The skill explicitly encourages shell execution via `npx` and offers local credential persistence under `~/.config/sentisense/`. Even though the package/version is pinned and the skill is read-only in business purpose, invoking external code and storing secrets on disk expands the attack surface beyond simple API use and can expose hosts that allow shell access.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The skill expands from stock-data retrieval into fetching arbitrary external URLs from article feeds for headline and embed resolution. Although it includes substantial safety guidance, this still introduces SSRF/open-fetch risk, redirect abuse, and untrusted third-party content handling that exceeds the declared read-only stock-terminal scope.
