Sourdough Starter Manager

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a benign knowledge-only sourdough starter helper with normal, transparent installation instructions and no hidden execution behavior.

This skill appears safe to install if you want sourdough starter guidance. It does not request credentials, tools, dependencies, or network access; review the usual OpenClaw skill install location if you prefer to manage enabled skills manually.

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
