Overview

This skill is not an obvious data-theft tool, but it asks the agent to persist broad personal/work context and perform autonomous local actions with too little user control.

Install only if you want a highly stateful, proactive agent and are comfortable with it writing personal/work context to local memory files. Before use, narrow the WAL rules, disable automatic exchange logging, require approval before modifying AGENTS.md/SOUL.md/skill files, and require confirmation before app, browser, file, email, calendar, or repair actions.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns

• Agent Memory Poisoning: Writes attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
• Unauthorized Access and Privilege Escalation: Obtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
• Insecure Skill Coding Practices: Finds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
• Skill Instruction Hijacking: Alters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
• Remote Payload Retrieval and Execution: Fetches external code whose behavior can change after review

• Finding: Indiscriminate Persistent Storage of Conversation and Personal Data<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `SKILL.md:145-186` **Related Locations**: `SKILL.md:224-228`, `assets/ONBOARDING.md:36-79`, `assets/USER.md:5-35`, `assets/MEMORY.md:5-44` **Vulnerability Type**: Excessive plaintext retention of conversation data **Risk Level**: Medium ### Vulnerable Code ```markdown **The Law:** You are a stateful operator. Chat history is a BUFFER, not storage. `SESSION-STATE.md` is your "RAM" — the ONLY place specific details are safe. ### Trigger — SCAN EVERY MESSAGE FOR: - ✏️ **Corrections** — "It's X, not Y" / "Actually..." / "No, I meant..." - 📍 **Proper nouns** — Names, places, companies, products - 🎨 **Preferences** — Colors, styles, approaches, "I like/don't like" - 📋 **Decisions** — "Let's do X" / "Go with Y" / "Use Z" - 📝 **Draft changes** — Edits to something we're working on - 🔢 **Specific values** — Numbers, dates, IDs, URLs ### The Protocol **If ANY of these appear:** 1. **STOP** — Do not start composing your response 2. **WRITE** — Update SESSION-STATE.md with the detail 3. **THEN** — Respond to your human **The urge to respond is the enemy.** The detail feels so clear in context that writing it down seems unnecessary. But context will vanish. Write first. **Purpose:** Capture EVERY exchange in the danger zone between memory flush and compaction. ### How It Works 1. **At 60% context** (check via `session_status`): CLEAR the old buffer, start fresh 2. **Every message after 60%**: Append both human's message AND your response summary ``` The associated templates also persist names, relationships, goals, birthdays, anniversaries, deadlines, projects, and other user context. ### Technical Analysis The Skill mandates persistent writes whenever a message contains broad classes of information, including proper nouns, identifiers, dates, numbers, and URLs. After the context threshold is reached, it expands retention to every exchange. There is no sensitivity classification, secret redaction, all ...[truncated 1980 chars]
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Make persistent conversation memory explicitly opt-in. 2. Replace the broad “write every specific value” rule with a narrow allowlist of task-state fields. 3. Prohibit storage of passwords, API keys, access tokens, private keys, financial data, health data, session cookies, and authentication URLs. 4. Apply secret detection and redaction before every memory write. 5. Do not log every exchange based solely on context utilization. 6. Ask for consent before retaining personal or third-party relationship information. 7. Define automatic expiration and deletion policies for working buffers and daily notes. 8. Restrict memory-file permissions to the owning user. 9. Provide commands to inspect, export, correct, and delete retained information. 10. Keep task continuity state separate from personal-profile data and credentials. ]]>

T02 · Agent Memory Poisoning

Warning

• Location: assets/AGENTS.md:29
• Finding: Unreviewed Self-Modification of Persistent Agent Instructions<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `assets/AGENTS.md:29-36` **Related Locations**: `assets/AGENTS.md:136-143`, `assets/ONBOARDING.md:96-101` **Vulnerability Type**: Persistent behavioral-rule modification without approval or provenance validation **Risk Level**: Medium ### Vulnerable Code ```markdown ### Write It Down - Memory is limited — if you want to remember something, WRITE IT - "Mental notes" don't survive session restarts - "Remember this" → update daily notes or relevant file - Learn a lesson → update AGENTS.md, TOOLS.md, or skill file - Make a mistake → document it so future-you doesn't repeat it ``` The self-improvement section reinforces the behavior: ```markdown ## Self-Improvement After every mistake or learned lesson: 1. Identify the pattern 2. Figure out a better approach 3. Update AGENTS.md, TOOLS.md, or relevant file immediately Don't wait for permission to improve. If you learned something, write it down now. ``` Onboarding may also modify the persistent identity file: ```markdown ## After Onboarding Once complete (or enough answers gathered), the agent will: 1. Update USER.md with your context 2. Update SOUL.md with personality preferences 3. Set status to `complete` 4. Start proactive mode ``` ### Technical Analysis `AGENTS.md`, Skill files, and `SOUL.md` are not ordinary notes. They are persistent instruction and identity sources that are loaded in later sessions. Allowing the agent to modify these files immediately and without approval creates a path from conversational content to durable behavioral rules. The package includes prompt-injection defenses, but those defenses do not fully mitigate this issue. Content does not need to contain an obvious phrase such as “ignore previous instructions.” It may instead be framed as a lesson, preference, correction, or workflow improvement and then be incorporated into a trusted instruction file. There is no mandatory provenance record, immutable baseline, schema va ...[truncated 1530 chars]
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Treat `AGENTS.md`, `SOUL.md`, and Skill files as protected policy files. 2. Require explicit user approval before modifying persistent behavioral instructions. 3. Store proposed lessons in a separate, non-executable review queue. 4. Display a complete diff and explanation before applying a behavioral change. 5. Record the source message and provenance of every proposed rule. 6. Reject rules derived from external documents, websites, email, API responses, or other untrusted sources. 7. Maintain immutable core safety and authorization rules that self-improvement cannot override. 8. Keep version history and provide one-step rollback. 9. Apply a strict schema to user preferences so free-form text cannot become executable policy. 10. Revalidate persistent instructions against the trusted baseline at each startup. ]]>

T05 · Unauthorized Access and Privilege Escalation

Warning

• Location: assets/HEARTBEAT.md:26
• Finding: Overly Broad Autonomous Local Monitoring and Modification<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `assets/HEARTBEAT.md:26-78` **Related Locations**: `assets/AGENTS.md:7-18`, `assets/AGENTS.md:76-87` **Vulnerability Type**: Excessive autonomous access to local resources **Risk Level**: Medium ### Vulnerable Code ```markdown ## 🔧 Self-Healing Check ### Log Review ```bash # Check recent logs for issues tail -100 /tmp/clawdbot/*.log | grep -i "error\|fail\|warn" ``` Look for: - Recurring errors - Tool failures - API timeouts - Integration issues ### Diagnose & Fix When issues found: 1. Research root cause 2. Attempt fix if within capability 3. Test the fix 4. Document in daily notes 5. Update TOOLS.md if recurring ## 🧹 System Cleanup ### Close Unused Apps Check for apps not used recently, close if safe. Leave alone: Finder, Terminal, core apps Safe to close: Preview, TextEdit, one-off apps ### Browser Tab Hygiene - Keep: Active work, frequently used - Close: Random searches, one-off pages - Bookmark first if potentially useful ### Desktop Cleanup - Move old screenshots to trash - Flag unexpected files ``` The installed operating template also states: ```markdown ## Every Session Before doing anything: 1. Read `SOUL.md` — who you are 2. Read `USER.md` — who you're helping 3. Read `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` (today + yesterday) for recent context 4. In main sessions: also read `MEMORY.md` Don't ask permission. Just do it. ``` ### Technical Analysis The heartbeat authorizes periodic inspection and modification of resources beyond the narrow needs of memory continuity. It permits log inspection, attempted repairs, closing applications, closing browser tabs, bookmarking content, and moving screenshots to trash. Terms such as “if within capability,” “if safe,” and “unused” are not enforceable authorization boundaries. They leave consequential decisions to the agent without requiring contemporaneous user confirmation. The startup rules additionally authorize automatic access to persistent personal-mem ...[truncated 1683 chars]
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Make heartbeat capabilities opt-in and disabled by default. 2. Limit default heartbeat behavior to read-only status reporting. 3. Require explicit confirmation before closing applications or browser tabs, moving files, changing bookmarks, or applying repairs. 4. Separate diagnosis from remediation: agents may propose a fix but must not apply it automatically. 5. Restrict startup memory reads to files relevant to the current task. 6. Define exact permitted paths and tools instead of broad phrases such as “work within the workspace.” 7. Use sandboxed, least-privilege tool grants for periodic jobs. 8. Do not grant heartbeat agents email, calendar, browser-control, and filesystem-write capabilities unless individually enabled. 9. Treat log contents and filenames as untrusted data. 10. Produce an action plan and diff for user review before any local state modification. ]]>

• Location: scripts/security-audit.sh:55
• Finding: Secret Scanner Misses Nested and Whitespace-Containing Files<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `scripts/security-audit.sh:55-64` **Vulnerability Type**: Incomplete and unsafe shell file enumeration **Risk Level**: Low ### Vulnerable Code ```bash SECRET_PATTERNS="(api[_-]?key|apikey|secret|password|token|auth).*[=:].{10,}" for f in $(ls *.md *.json *.yaml *.yml .env* 2>/dev/null || true); do if [ -f "$f" ]; then matches=$(grep -iE "$SECRET_PATTERNS" "$f" 2>/dev/null | grep -v "example\|template\|placeholder\|your-\|<\|TODO" || true) if [ -n "$matches" ]; then warn "Possible secret in $f - review manually" fi fi done pass "Secret scan complete" ``` ### Technical Analysis The script parses `ls` output through command substitution: ```bash for f in $(ls ...); do ``` Command substitution removes line boundaries and applies shell word splitting. Files whose names contain spaces, tabs, or newlines are therefore split into incorrect path fragments and may not be scanned. The glob patterns only enumerate matching files in the current directory. They do not recursively inspect nested project directories. The script also suppresses enumeration and `grep` errors and then unconditionally prints `Secret scan complete`, which can create false confidence even when coverage was incomplete. The pattern-based exclusions may also suppress genuine secrets appearing on lines containing words such as `example`, `template`, or `TODO`. ### Attack Path 1. A secret is placed in a nested file, such as `config/private/settings.yaml`, or a top-level file whose name contains whitespace. 2. The current-directory glob does not discover the nested file, or shell word splitting corrupts the whitespace-containing path. 3. The `[ -f "$f" ]` check fails for the corrupted fragments, so the file is skipped. 4. Errors remain hidden because standard error is redirected and failures are converted to success with `|| true`. 5. The script prints `Secret scan complete`, leading the operator to ...[truncated 843 chars]
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Replace `ls` parsing with null-delimited recursive enumeration: ```bash while IFS= read -r -d '' f; do if ! matches=$(grep -iE "$SECRET_PATTERNS" -- "$f" 2>/dev/null); then status=$? if [ "$status" -gt 1 ]; then warn "Could not scan $f" continue fi fi filtered=$(printf '%s\n' "$matches" | grep -viE 'example|template|placeholder|your-|TODO' || true) if [ -n "$filtered" ]; then warn "Possible secret in $f - review manually" fi done < <( find . -type f \ \( -name '*.md' -o -name '*.json' -o -name '*.yaml' \ -o -name '*.yml' -o -name '.env' -o -name '.env.*' \) \ -print0 ) ``` 2. Define explicit exclusions for generated or third-party directories. 3. Report the number of successfully scanned, skipped, and unreadable files. 4. Do not mark the scan as passed when enumeration or read errors occurred. 5. Narrow suppression rules and apply them only to known placeholder values rather than entire lines. 6. Add tests for filenames containing spaces, tabs, newlines, leading dashes, and nested directories. 7. Clarify that this heuristic scan supplements, rather than replaces, a dedicated secret-detection tool. ]]>

• Confidence: 80% confidence
• Finding: YARA rule matched a hack tool or exploit indicator (offensive tools, reconnaissance, privilege escalation, or exploit frameworks).

Ssd 3

High

• Confidence: 98% confidence
• Finding: The WAL protocol tells the agent to persist sensitive user-provided details such as names, preferences, decisions, IDs, dates, and URLs before responding. This normalizes writing potentially confidential information to disk by default, creating privacy, compliance, and leakage risks if files are exposed or reused.

Ssd 3

High

• Confidence: 98% confidence
• Finding: This section instructs the agent to append essentially every human message and response summary to a persistent file once context hits 60%. That creates a broad data-retention surface containing potentially sensitive personal, business, and security-relevant content in plaintext, increasing leakage and secondary-use risk.

Tp4

High

• Category: MCP Tool Poisoning
• Confidence: 98% confidence
• Finding: The declared description presents a productivity/agent-behavior skill focused on making AI agents proactive and mentions WAL Protocol, Working Buffer, Autonomous Crons, and related patterns. The supplied code chunk instead is a security-audit shell script whose primary purpose is to inspect local files and configurations for security issues. This is a materially different purpose and includes undeclared capabilities around filesystem/config inspection and secret exposure checking. Therefore the description does not accurately represent the code's actual behavior.

Vague Triggers

High

• Confidence: 94% confidence
• Finding: The WAL trigger tells the agent to scan every message for very common patterns and to stop and write to persistent state before responding. This creates an over-broad always-on behavior that can be activated by normal conversation, increasing the chance of unintended persistence of sensitive data and making prompt injection or adversarial phrasing more operationally effective.
