Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill fetches public cryptocurrency market data and generates local analysis without account access, persistence, or hidden execution.

Install only if you are comfortable with the skill contacting public crypto data APIs and providing Chinese-language market analysis. Treat its trading and leverage suggestions as informational, not financial advice.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • MCP Least PrivilegeUnderdeclared Capability, Wildcard Permission, Missing Permission Declaration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Undeclared Tool Scope

Medium
Category
MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill advertises network-backed cryptocurrency analysis capabilities and references multiple external APIs, but the manifest does not declare any explicit tool scope such as permissions or allowed-tools. This creates a governance and transparency gap: an agent may invoke network-capable code without a clearly documented least-privilege boundary, making review, sandboxing, and policy enforcement harder.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The file introduces the skill title and core description in Chinese, while the manifest description is in English, but there is no explicit user opt-in or stated language-selection behavior. Under the language/locale policy, forcing or defaulting to a specific language without user choice can be a policy violation unless clearly justified.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

This codebase presents its identity, analysis output, and user-facing strings entirely in Chinese, with no option for users to choose another language or locale. The policy scope covers natural-language constraints in code files, and this implementation effectively imposes a specific language by default rather than offering a choice.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence

Finding

This markdown file presents all instructional content in Chinese, including headings and usage guidance, but does not indicate that the skill is Chinese-only or offer an alternative language option. Under the natural-language policy rule, forcing a specific language without user opt-in can be a locale policy violation.
