Security audit

wewe-rss-deploy

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill appears to deploy the promised WeWe RSS service, but it uses high-impact deployment defaults that need careful review before installation.

Review this before installing. Prefer pinning the upstream repository to a known commit, verifying downloads, using localhost binding, generating a strong auth code, avoiding the default third-party relay unless you trust it, and enabling PM2 startup only after explicit approval. Run it in a contained environment if possible.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • System PersistenceInstalls backdoors, hooks, services, or scheduled tasks that survive the run
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • 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

Hidden Instructions

High
Category
Prompt Injection
Confidence
60% confidence
Finding

Hidden instructions were detected in comments or invisible text. These could contain malicious directives. Manual review is recommended.

## 触发条件
当 WeWe RSS 服务未运行(端口 4000 无响应),或用户要求部署 WeWe RSS 项目时激活。

Tool Parameter Abuse

High
Category
Tool Misuse
Confidence
85% confidence
Finding

Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).

Tool Parameter Abuse

High
Category
Tool Misuse
Confidence
85% confidence
Finding

rm -rf prisma/ recursively deletes a directory inside the checked-out project as part of schema switching. Although intended to replace MySQL schema files with SQLite ones, recursive deletion is hazardous if executed from the wrong path or if path assumptions fail, making this a real safety risk in an automated skill.

Content

Scanner excerpt · SKILL.md (reported line 60)May include surrounding context.

ls prisma/

# 删除 MySQL schema(如果存在)
rm -rf prisma/

# 重命名 SQLite schema
mv prisma-sqlite prisma

Credential Access

High
Category
Privilege Escalation
Confidence
60% confidence
Finding

Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.

Tool Parameter Abuse

High
Category
Tool Misuse
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

rm -rf ~/.openclaw/workspace/wewe-rss-main is a real destructive command, even though it is part of an uninstall section. In an agent context, providing unattended deletion steps without confirmation can lead to accidental data loss if the directory contains user modifications or if the path is reused for other work.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The trigger condition activates whenever the service is down or when a user generically asks to deploy the project, which is broad enough to cause the agent to perform installation and service-start actions without narrowly scoped confirmation. In a skill system, overly broad activation raises the chance of unintended code download, dependency installation, and network exposure on the host.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs the agent to fetch code from external network sources (git clone or curl from GitHub) and then execute build/install steps on that code. This is expected for deployment, but it remains a genuine supply-chain and external transmission risk because unreviewed remote content is imported into the environment and later executed.

如果 Git 克隆失败,使用 curl 下载压缩包:

Session Persistence

Medium
Category
Rogue Agent
Confidence
60% confidence
Finding

Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The .env example binds the service to 0.0.0.0, exposing it on all network interfaces, yet the skill does not clearly warn that this makes the RSS service reachable beyond localhost. Combined with a web UI and article/account management features, this can unintentionally expose a locally deployed service to other users on the network or the internet if port forwarding/firewall rules permit it.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The skill recommends a public third-party forwarding service (PLATFORM_URL) without a privacy or trust warning. Because the service is used in a workflow involving account login and retrieval of reading/article data, users may unknowingly transmit sensitive metadata or content through infrastructure they do not control.

Session Persistence

Medium
Category
Rogue Agent
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

Writing the installation path into ~/.openclaw/workspace/tools/wewe-rss-config.txt creates cross-session state intended for later skills to discover and reuse. In an agent environment, this is persistence behavior that can influence future runs and should be disclosed and consented to, especially because it affects tool behavior beyond the current task.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding

The entire skill documentation is written in Chinese and assumes Chinese UI flows such as WeChat Reading login, without indicating that language is fixed or offering an alternative language option. This can be a locale-policy issue when a skill implicitly forces a specific language without user opt-in or justification.
