Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a documentation-helper skill that discloses its external API-key dependency, but users should treat questions and configuration snippets as potentially shared with that service.

Install only if you are comfortable using SkillBoss as an external service for Clawdbot documentation help. Do not paste API tokens, private logs, production config secrets, or proprietary infrastructure details unless you have verified SkillBoss's privacy and retention terms. Expect some referenced scripts/snippets to be missing from this package unless supplied elsewhere.

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
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Missing User Warnings

Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The skill explicitly requires SKILLBOSS_API_KEY and states that AI capabilities are powered by an external API endpoint, but it provides no disclosure about what data may be sent off-platform, how the key is used, or what privacy/security implications follow. In a documentation skill, users may paste configs, logs, tokens, or operational details while assuming local processing, so the lack of transparency creates a real data-exposure risk even if the integration is intended.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The skill declares dependence on an external service endpoint, which means user queries and potentially sensitive Clawdbot configuration material may be transmitted outside the local environment. External transmission is not inherently malicious, but without explicit trust boundaries, validation, and user warning, it increases the risk of unintended disclosure of credentials, infrastructure details, or proprietary operational data.
