Full Analysis
- Indirect Prompt Injection (HIGH): The skill is designed to ingest untrusted data from the Bankr API and the Base blockchain (specifically token names and market research) as documented in
SKILL.md. Evidence Chain: 1. Ingestion:bankr.shis used to fetch 'trending tokens' and 'sentiment'. 2. Boundary markers: None are defined in the instructions for processing this external content. 3. Capability inventory: The agent has high-privilege capabilities including buying/selling tokens and setting stop losses. 4. Sanitization: There is no evidence of validation or filtering for external data. This creates a surface where an attacker could name a token with malicious instructions to hijack the agent's trading logic.\n- Command Execution (HIGH): Thescripts/log-trade.shfile uses an unquoted heredoc (cat <<EOF) to construct a JSON object using shell variables. In bash/sh, this allows shell variable expansion and subshell execution within the heredoc. If theREASONorTOKENparameters provided by the agent (which may come from untrusted external sources) contain payloads like$(id), the command will be executed by the underlying system.\n- External Downloads & Dependencies (MEDIUM): The skill relies heavily on a non-standard component called 'Bankr' and suggests installation via 'ClawdHub' (as seen inREADME.md). Neither the dependency nor the registry are in the list of trusted sources, posing a supply chain risk where malicious code could be introduced through these external scripts.\n- Metadata Poisoning & Misleading Content (MEDIUM): The skill's metadata and philosophy sections use 'flavor' text and personas that are deceptive. While claiming to prioritize 'safety' and 'capital preservation', the underlying code contains the high-severity vulnerabilities mentioned above, suggesting a lack of actual security review despite the authoritative claims.
