Config Guardian

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill changes OpenClaw configuration through disclosed backup, validation, and rollback scripts.

Install only if you want agents to help modify OpenClaw configuration. Review requested config changes before approval, because successful changes can alter agent behavior even though backups are preserved.

A.I.G

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

Finding

This is another manifestation of the same core issue: the skill markets itself as a safe guardrail for config changes, yet the file itself contains no enforceable mechanism for updating config, creating backups, or recovering from failure. In an agent context, this mismatch is dangerous because documentation can directly influence operational behavior, leading an agent to take risky actions under a false assumption of safety.
