Consortium AI Analysis

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed, read-only client for a trading-analysis API, with the main risk being that users must trust the external service and its API-key handling.

Install only if you trust Consortium AI with the TRADING_ANALYSIS_API_KEY and are comfortable receiving crypto trading signals from its API. Keep the key scoped to this service where possible, do not paste it into chats or logs, and remember the skill retrieves signals only; it 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

Undeclared Tool Scope

Medium
Category
MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The skill explicitly requires an environment secret and repeatedly instructs making outbound network requests, but it does not declare any tool scope such as permissions or allowed-tools. That mismatch weakens platform-level guardrails by hiding the skill's need for secret access and external communication, increasing the chance an agent can exfiltrate the API key or call unreviewed endpoints without clear policy enforcement.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

This skill sends authenticated requests containing a secret API key to an external third-party service. External transmission is expected for the skill's purpose, but it still creates a real data-flow and trust-boundary risk because secrets are disclosed to a remote domain and any returned content is untrusted.
