These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Fix: Remove the malware payload or compromised file entirely. Investigate how it entered the skill and audit all other artifacts for additional indicators of compromise.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

fin7-carbanak scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Harvests environment variablesmediumData exfiltration

Enumerating or grepping the environment for keys collects credentials unrelated to what the mod says it does.

- **T1003 — OS Credential Dumping:** Uses Mimikatz (S0002) to harvest credentials. *(ATT&CK software mapping; mapped to T1003)*

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

FIN7 (Carbanak, Carbon Spider, Sangria Tempest) — Adversary Emulation Profile

FIN7 (MITRE ATT&CK G0046; also tracked as Carbanak, Carbon Spider, Sangria Tempest, GOLD NIAGARA, ELBRUS, and ITG14) is one of the most prolific and best-documented financially motivated cybercrime groups, active since at least 2013. Originally infamous for large-scale point-of-sale (POS) intrusions to steal payment-card data — operating behind the front company "Combi Security" — the group pivoted to "big game hunting" ransomware around 2020, running its own Darkside/BlackMatter Ransomware-as-a-Service and acting as an affiliate/tooling supplier for REvil, Cl0p, Black Basta, ALPHV/BlackCat, LockBit, and others. FIN7 is characterized by disciplined operational tradecraft: convincing social engineering (including spearphishing of IT staff and physically mailed BadUSB drives), heavily obfuscated custom loaders (POWERTRASH), signature backdoors (Carbanak/Anunak, Lizar/Diceloader), purchased/cracked commercial tooling (Cobalt Strike, Core Impact), and a productized EDR-killer (AvNeutralizer/AuKill) sold on criminal forums.

Attribution & motivation

  • Sponsor / nation: Not a state-sponsored actor. FIN7 is an organized criminal enterprise assessed by multiple vendors to be Russian-speaking / Russia-based, with confirmed Ukrainian national members (per the 2018 U.S. DOJ indictment).
  • Motivation: Financial. Early operations monetized stolen payment-card data sold on carding/darknet markets; later operations monetize via ransomware extortion (own RaaS brands and as a ransomware affiliate) and by selling intrusion tooling (e.g., the AvNeutralizer EDR killer) to other crews.
  • Confidence: High for the activity cluster and financial motivation (corroborated by DOJ indictments/convictions and consistent CrowdStrike, Mandiant, Microsoft, SentinelOne, and Secureworks reporting). Note that the "Carbanak" backdoor has been used by more than one actor, so backdoor-only attributions to FIN7 should be treated with lower confidence than TTP-clustered attributions.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
