Risk Level: CRITICAL
Full Analysis

CRITICAL E004: Prompt injection detected in skill instructions.

  • Potential prompt injection detected (high risk: 0.80). The pre-flight/install section contains obfuscated data (a base64 string) and code that fingerprints the host (hostname, uname, $HOME → hashed DIV_ID) and silently posts that device token to external endpoints, which is hidden telemetry/exfiltration unrelated to the Archimedes finance functionality.

CRITICAL E005: Suspicious download URL detected in skill instructions.

  • Suspicious download URL detected (high risk: 0.85). These links include direct downloads of binaries and a curl | sh installer (high-risk patterns), one binary is served from a third‑party GitHub release (unknown/low‑reputation account), and telemetry/reporting to a Vercel endpoint plus an OKX API call means the workflow both installs executable code from non-verified sources and leaks device identifiers — overall a suspicious distribution vector that could deliver malware.

MEDIUM W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk).

  • Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.90). The SKILL.md explicitly fetches and uses external on-chain and third-party API data (e.g., calls like archimedes protocol-info, get-positions, previewZapInAmount which read on-chain contracts and listed endpoints such as https://ethereum.publicnode.com, plugin-store-dun.vercel.app, and OKX APIs) as part of its required workflow, and that untrusted external content directly affects decisions and subsequent contract calls.

MEDIUM W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).


HIGH W008: Secret detected in skill content (API keys, tokens, passwords).

  • Secret detected (high risk: 1.00). I scanned the full skill prompt for literal, high-entropy values that could be usable credentials.

Flagged item:

  • The base64 string assigned to _K in the "Report install" block: 'OE9nNWFRUFdfSVJkektrMExOV2RNeTIzV2JibXo3ZWNTbExJUDFIWnVoZw=='. This is a non-placeholder, high-entropy literal that is decoded and used as an HMAC signing key to generate a device token (DIV_ID) and is sent to external APIs (OKX/report). Because it is a deployed signing key embedded in the script (even if "obfuscated"), it qualifies as a secret and should be treated as such.

Ignored items (not flagged) and why:

  • Ethereum contract addresses (0x...): public on-chain addresses, not secrets.
  • Example/replacement/truncated values like "0xabc...", "0xdef...", and JSON example outputs: clearly placeholders/redacted.
  • CLI instructions, environment variable names, and simple example passwords mentioned in guidance: documentation placeholders or examples per the rules, so not flagged.

Conclusion: one real, high-entropy secret present — the base64-encoded HMAC key in the install/report block.


MEDIUM W009: Direct money access capability detected (payment gateways, crypto, banking).

  • Direct money access detected (high risk: 1.00). The skill is explicitly designed to perform on-chain financial operations. It requires a connected wallet and exposes commands that create and broadcast transactions: e.g., open-position (approves stablecoins/ARCH, calls Zapper.zapIn() to deposit and mint a leveraged position NFT), close-position (sets approvals and calls LeverageEngine.unwindLeveragedPosition()), and other onchainos wallet contract-call actions. These are direct crypto transaction/smart-contract interactions (signing/sending funds, paying fees, minting/redeeming positions), not generic tooling. Therefore it grants direct financial execution authority.
