Startup Financial Modeling

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a text-only startup financial modeling guide with no code execution, persistence, or hidden data access.

This skill appears safe to install as a planning aid. Users should treat its financial assumptions as templates, not professional financial advice, and verify projections before using them for fundraising or operating decisions.

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
This manifest file describes the skill with a wide list of generic finance tasks such as creating projections and modeling cash flow, but it does not define specific activation phrases, scope boundaries, or exclusion conditions. In a manifest context, that ambiguity can cause the skill to match broad user requests unintentionally.
