Process Output

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill does not contain code or persistence, but it broadly changes the assistant's default output and tool-use behavior for every user message.

Install only if you specifically want this skill to change most assistant replies into openclaw-process JSON progress blocks. It should be narrowed to explicit opt-in use, and its tool-use policy should not override platform, developer, or task-specific requirements.

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

Vague Triggers

Confidence

Finding

The skill is configured as a default behavior for any user message, which gives it global influence over assistant responses regardless of task relevance or user consent. Broad activation increases the chance of instruction interference, protocol confusion, and untrusted downstream parsing behavior across unrelated conversations.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The skill mandates a specific machine-parseable output format by default without user opt-in, overriding normal response behavior and potentially conflicting with higher-priority system or application expectations. This can enable output-channel manipulation, break client assumptions, and create opportunities for UI or parser abuse if consuming systems trust the emitted blocks.
