Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a plain instructional finance-analysis helper with no executable code, persistence, credential handling, or hidden data movement.

This skill appears suitable as an analytical coding and modeling aid, not as a source of financial advice or autonomous trading decisions. Review generated strategies, assumptions, and risk calculations carefully before using them with real money.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Finding
The description includes broad proactive activation language ('Use PROACTIVELY') tied to a wide class of finance-related tasks, which can cause the orchestrator to invoke this skill more often than intended. In a trading and financial modeling context, unintended invocation can lead to irrelevant guidance, overreach into adjacent tasks, or increased exposure to risky financial recommendations without explicit user intent.
