~Alter Register and Earn

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a coherent guide for registering an autonomous ~alter identity and checking earnings, with the main caution being careful handling of the returned API key.

Install only if you want your agent to create its own ~alter identity. Treat the returned api_key as a secret: store it in a secure credential store, avoid printing it in chat or logs, and rotate or re-register if it may have been exposed.

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 skill instructs the agent to store a newly issued API key immediately, but it does not explicitly frame the key as a sensitive secret that must be protected, not logged, and not exposed to users or downstream tools. In an autonomous-agent context, this omission matters because agents often persist outputs, echo tool results, or write verbose logs, which can accidentally disclose the one-time API key and enable unauthorized use of the identity and earnings-related account.
