Agent Credit

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is not deceptive, but it gives an agent live Aave borrowing authority using a plaintext wallet key and has gaps in the advertised financial safety checks.

Install only after reviewing the financial risk carefully. Use a dedicated low-value agent wallet, keep delegation allowances small, revoke delegation when idle, avoid plaintext private keys where possible, and do not rely on the documented health-factor and transaction-cap checks as complete protection.

Unverified Remote Installer Is Piped Directly into Bash<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `SKILL.md:70-73` **Vulnerability Type**: Unverified remote payload retrieval and execution **Risk Level**: Critical ### Vulnerable Code ```bash 1. **Foundry** must be installed (`cast` CLI): ```bash curl -L https://foundry.paradigm.xyz | bash && foundryup ``` ``` ### Technical Analysis The installation instructions pipe a mutable HTTP response directly into Bash. Although HTTPS protects the connection against ordinary network interception, it does not ensure that the retrieved script is immutable, independently verified, or safe at the time it is executed. Compromise of the referenced domain, its hosting infrastructure, a redirect destination, or the remote installer itself would allow arbitrary shell commands to execute with the permissions of the user following the instructions. The subsequent `foundryup` command also retrieves and installs additional executable components. Installing Foundry is relevant to the Skill, but executing an unaudited remote response is not the minimum privilege or minimum-risk mechanism required to install it. ### Attack Path 1. An attacker compromises the remote installer, hosting infrastructure, redirect chain, or distribution account. 2. The installer response is modified to include arbitrary commands. 3. A user follows the documented prerequisite and runs the `curl | bash` command. 4. Bash executes the attacker's response immediately without checksum or signature verification. 5. The payload can inspect the Agent workspace, read wallet configuration, modify local tools, or install persistent malware. ### Impact Assessment The remote payload receives the privileges of the user running the installation command. It may consequently: - Read the plaintext Agent wallet key from `config.json`. - Steal wallet funds or exercise delegated borrowing authority. - Modify the Skill scripts or replace development tools. - Access other files and credentials available to ...[truncated 248 chars]
Remediation
<![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Remove the `curl | bash` installation instruction. 2. Direct users to a version-pinned Foundry release from its documented official repository. 3. Download the release artifact without executing it. 4. Publish and verify a cryptographic checksum or signature before installation. 5. Avoid following mutable “latest release” references in security-sensitive environments. 6. Prefer a trusted package manager or reproducible installation process where available. 7. Document the exact expected version and verification procedure. 8. Run installation with an unprivileged account and without access to production wallet keys. ]]>

Remediation
<![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Simulate the exact `borrow` transaction against the current chain state before signing it. 2. Obtain the projected post-transaction account data and reject the request unless the resulting health factor is at or above `MIN_HF`. 3. Compare the requested borrow's oracle-denominated value against `AVAILABLE_BORROWS`, rather than checking only whether the latter is nonzero. 4. Use trusted Aave oracle data and validate token decimals when performing local calculations. 5. Fail closed if price data, simulation, reserve configuration, or projected account data cannot be obtained. 6. Re-check state immediately before broadcasting to reduce time-of-check/time-of-use exposure. 7. Update tests to cover a currently healthy position whose requested borrow would violate the configured post-borrow floor. 8. Correct the documentation if a projected-health guarantee cannot be implemented reliably. ]]>

Per-Transaction Borrow Cap Is Skipped for Assets Using a Different Unit<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `aave-borrow.sh:66-77` **Vulnerability Type**: Bypassable transaction limit **Risk Level**: High ### Vulnerable Code ```bash # === SAFETY CHECK 1: Per-transaction cap === echo "--- Safety Check 1: Transaction Cap ---" # Simple check — if same unit, compare directly if [ "$SYMBOL" = "$MAX_BORROW_UNIT" ]; then if (( $(echo "$AMOUNT > $MAX_BORROW" | bc -l) )); then echo -e "${RED}✗ AMOUNT_EXCEEDS_CAP: $AMOUNT $SYMBOL exceeds max $MAX_BORROW $MAX_BORROW_UNIT per tx${NC}" echo " Update safety.maxBorrowPerTx in config to increase limit." exit 1 fi fi echo -e "${GREEN}✓${NC} Amount within per-tx cap ($MAX_BORROW $MAX_BORROW_UNIT)" ``` ### Technical Analysis The cap is enforced only when the borrowed asset symbol exactly matches `maxBorrowPerTxUnit`. The default configuration sets the unit to `USDC`, while also configuring WETH and cbETH. A WETH or cbETH request therefore skips the comparison entirely. The script nevertheless prints that the amount is within the cap, creating a misleading indication that the control was applied successfully. Delegation allowance limits may constrain the maximum eventual borrow, but they do not replace the advertised per-transaction limit. ### Attack Path 1. The configuration uses the default `maxBorrowPerTxUnit` value of `USDC`. 2. The delegator has granted the Agent a WETH or cbETH delegation allowance. 3. An attacker influences the Agent to request a large borrow in that non-USDC asset. 4. The symbol comparison fails, so the cap check is skipped. 5. The script reports that the transaction is within the cap. 6. If the remaining checks pass, the Agent signs a borrow up to the available delegation or protocol capacity. ### Impact Assessment The bypass permits a single transaction to consume a large non-USDC delegation. This can: - Create debt much larger than the operator intended per transaction. - Reduce the delegator's health factor sharply. - Increase ...[truncated 281 chars]
Remediation
<![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Define explicit limits for every configured asset, for example: ```json { "maxBorrowPerTx": { "USDC": "100", "WETH": "0.05", "cbETH": "0.05" } } ``` 2. Alternatively, convert every requested amount into a common value through a trusted Aave oracle before comparing it with the cap. 3. Reject assets that lack a configured per-asset cap or validated price conversion. 4. Do not print a successful cap message unless a comparison was actually performed. 5. Validate that asset symbols, addresses, decimals, oracle feeds, and chain identifiers are consistent. 6. Add tests covering every configured non-USDC asset and unknown assets. ]]>

Agent Wallet Private Key Is Stored in Plaintext and Passed on the Command Line<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `SKILL.md:83-89`, `config.example.json:1-5`, `aave-borrow.sh:178-186`, and `aave-repay.sh:135-186` **Vulnerability Type**: Insecure private-key storage and process exposure **Risk Level**: Medium ### Vulnerable Code The documented configuration stores the key directly in JSON: ```json { "chain": "base", "rpcUrl": "https://mainnet.base.org", "agentPrivateKey": "0xYOUR_AGENT_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY", "delegatorAddress": "0xYOUR_MAIN_WALLET_ADDRESS" } ``` The signing scripts then pass the raw key as a command-line argument: ```bash TX_OUTPUT=$(cast send "$POOL" \ "borrow(address,uint256,uint256,uint16,address)" \ "$ASSET_ADDR" \ "$AMOUNT_RAW" \ 2 \ 0 \ "$DELEGATOR" \ --private-key "$AGENT_PK" \ --rpc-url "$RPC_URL" \ --gas-limit 500000 \ --json 2>&1) ``` Repayment and token approval use the same pattern: ```bash APPROVE_TX=$(cast send "$ASSET_ADDR" \ "approve(address,uint256)" \ "$POOL" \ "$APPROVE_AMOUNT" \ --private-key "$AGENT_PK" \ --rpc-url "$RPC_URL" \ --json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.transactionHash // .hash // empty' || echo "") ``` ### Technical Analysis The normal setup stores a reusable wallet private key in plaintext inside the Agent workspace. Any process or user able to read that file can recover the key. Passing the key through `--private-key` additionally places the secret in the process argument vector while `cast` is running. Depending on operating-system controls, process-monitoring tools, diagnostics, crash collection, or other same-account processes may observe those arguments. Although `safety.md` recommends applying mode `600`, the setup instructions do not enforce it, and `aave-setup.sh` does not verify ownership or permissions. Environment-variable overrides still leave a secret accessible to the Agent process and are not equivalent to a protected signer. ### Attack Path 1.

Do not pass raw private keys through process arguments. 3. Require interactive or policy-based authorization for high-value transactions where practical. 4. Enforce restrictive file permissions and ownership during setup: ```bash chmod 600 "$CONFIG" ``` 5. Make `aave-setup.sh` reject configuration files that are group-readable, world-readable, or owned by another user. 6. Ensure `config.json` is excluded from version control, backups, logs, diagnostics, and support bundles. 7. Use a dedicated Agent wallet holding minimal gas and transient token balances. 8.

Repayment Fallback Can Resubmit Transactions After Output-Parsing Failure<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `aave-repay.sh:135-151` and `aave-repay.sh:169-190` **Vulnerability Type**: Non-idempotent financial transaction retry **Risk Level**: Medium ### Vulnerable Code The approval flow sends another transaction whenever the first command does not produce a recognized hash: ```bash APPROVE_TX=$(cast send "$ASSET_ADDR" \ "approve(address,uint256)" \ "$POOL" \ "$APPROVE_AMOUNT" \ --private-key "$AGENT_PK" \ --rpc-url "$RPC_URL" \ --json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.transactionHash // .hash // empty' || echo "") if [ -z "$APPROVE_TX" ]; then # Fallback without --json cast send "$ASSET_ADDR" \ "approve(address,uint256)" \ "$POOL" \ "$APPROVE_AMOUNT" \ --private-key "$AGENT_PK" \ --rpc-url "$RPC_URL" else echo -e "${GREEN}✓${NC} Approved.

A command can successfully submit a transaction while its output is truncated, delayed, changed by a tool version, or not parsed by the expected `jq` expression.

Remediation
<![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Capture the exit status and output of each `cast send` invocation separately. 2. Treat a successful exit with unparseable output as an indeterminate state, not permission to resend. 3. Record the sender nonce before submission and query that nonce afterward. 4. Query the transaction receipt or updated on-chain state before attempting any retry. 5. For approvals, re-read the allowance and continue only if it remains insufficient. 6. For repayments, re-read the outstanding debt and compute whether another transaction is still required. 7. Use an explicit nonce for controlled retries so the same intended transaction replaces rather than duplicates a pending transaction. 8. Avoid suppressing all standard error output during transaction submission. 9. Add tests for malformed JSON, changed `cast` output, RPC timeouts after broadcast, and successful submission followed by local parsing failure. ]]>

MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The core declared purpose—borrowing from Aave via credit delegation with the agent receiving funds while debt is assigned to the delegator—is accurately represented by the script's main behavior. However, the description overstates scope in material ways. The code is explicitly labeled and implemented for Aave V3 only, using V3-style Pool/DataProvider interactions, so the claim that it works on Aave V2/V3 is not supported by this chunk. It also does not implement repay functionality; it only performs borrow plus related safety/health checks. These are meaningful description-to-behavior mismatches, though there is no evidence of unrelated or hidden malicious capability.

MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
The code chunk only performs monitoring/status checks via on-chain reads using cast call and cast balance. That aligns with the 'health checks' portion of the description, but not with the broader declared purpose that says the skill supports borrowing and repaying via credit delegation. No transaction-sending logic appears, no borrow/repay function calls are made, and the script is entirely observational. Additionally, the script banner says 'Aave V3 Delegation Status' and relies on configured pool/data provider addresses, so the explicit V2/V3 support claim is not demonstrated by this code chunk. Therefore the supplied code does not fully match the declared description.

- **Check health factor** — Is the delegator's position safe?
- **Check outstanding debt** — How much does the delegator owe on each asset?
- **Check available liquidity** — Is there enough in the Aave pool to borrow?
- **Resolve debt token addresses** — Look up VariableDebtToken for any asset

# Safety Guidelines — Aave Credit Delegation Skill

## Threat Model

This skill allows an AI agent to autonomously borrow funds against a human's collateral. The attack surface is significant.

### Risk 1: Prompt Injection → Wallet Drain
**Severity: CRITICAL**

If an attacker injects a malicious prompt into the agent (via a message, webhook, or compromised skill), they could instruct the agent to:
- Borrow the maximum delegated amount
- Transfer borrowed funds to an attacker address
- Do this silently, without user notification

**Mitigations:**
- Cap delegation amounts via `approveDelegation()` — never use `type(uint256).max`
- Set `safety.maxBorrow

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The opening README language markets autonomous borrowing against a user's Aave position without immediately foregrounding the primary financial risk: the delegator assumes the debt and can be liquidated or suffer loss if the agent borrows imprudently or market conditions move. Although liquidation and health-factor concepts are discussed later, the lack of an explicit upfront warning can cause users to engage with the skill before appreciating that borrowed funds are not free capital and that losses fall on their collateralized position.

   {
     "chain": "base",
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding
The instructions persist sensitive operational configuration in a long-lived directory under `~/.openclaw/skills/...`, increasing the chance that secrets and privileged settings remain on disk beyond the intended session. In this skill, persistence is more dangerous because the stored config includes blockchain RPC endpoints, delegator metadata, and potentially the agent's signing key, enabling repeatable financial actions if the host is later accessed.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
The setup instructions tell users to store `agentPrivateKey` in a plaintext JSON file under a persistent home-directory path. That materially increases the chance of credential theft via local compromise, accidental backup/sync leakage, permissive file permissions, or later accidental commits/copying, and this key directly authorizes on-chain borrowing/repayment actions.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
87% confidence
Finding
The script loads a raw private key from environment variables or a JSON config file and then passes it directly to `cast send --private-key`, which creates a clear secret-handling risk. In the context of an agent skill that autonomously borrows funds and incurs debt on behalf of a delegator, compromise of the agent key could let an attacker execute unauthorized borrows, transfers, or gas-draining transactions with immediate financial impact.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The script performs live approve and repay transactions immediately once invoked, with no confirmation gate, dry-run mode, or explicit irreversible-action warning. In an agent setting handling delegated credit and a private key, accidental invocation, parameter mistakes, or prompt-influenced execution can directly move funds on-chain and alter another account's debt position.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The script prints the full RPC URL with `ok "RPC URL: $RPC_URL"`. Many hosted Ethereum RPC endpoints embed API keys or basic-auth style credentials in the URL, so printing it to stdout can leak secrets into terminal history, CI logs, shell session capture, or support screenshots. In this skill context, the script is specifically a setup/diagnostic tool likely to be run interactively or in automation, which makes accidental disclosure more likely.

Intent-Code Divergence

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The script defaults SKILL_DIR to $HOME/.openclaw/skills/aave-delegation while the skill metadata identifies this as agent-credit. That mismatch can cause the script to read configuration, RPC endpoints, addresses, or private keys from a different skill directory than the one the operator expects, creating a confused-deputy risk and possible cross-skill secret misuse. In a blockchain borrowing skill, using the wrong config can directly affect live funds, debt positions, and account health visibility.

- Set restrictive file permissions: `chmod 600 ~/.openclaw/skills/aave-delegation/config.json`

- Consider environment variables instead of file storage
- The agent wallet should only hold minimal gas — all borrowed funds should be used or returned promptly

Finding
The inline file documentation explicitly states 'Repay Aave V3 debt on behalf of delegator'. That contradicts the broader documented intent in the manifest that the skill works on both Aave V2 and V3, at least for this repay path, because the implementation is tied to V3 interfaces such as getReserveTokensAddresses and Pool.repay semantics used here.
