ClawHub Publish Conventions

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a documentation-only skill about ClawHub publishing conventions, with scanner hits coming from examples and security guidance rather than hidden runtime behavior.

Installers should treat this as publishing guidance, not a runtime integration. Review any copied Docker or publishing commands before running them, especially commands that publish to ClawHub or use a mutable local image tag such as latest.

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

Env Variable Harvesting

Data Exfiltration
Confidence

Finding

Code enumerates, copies, or searches environment variables for secrets. Bulk environment access can collect credentials unrelated to the skill's stated purpose.

### 1. Environment Scrubbing

**Anti-pattern:** Copying the full host environment (`os.environ.copy()`) leaks secrets (AWS keys, API tokens, personal paths) to sub-scripts.

**Correct pattern:** Define a whitelist-only environment builder and pass it explicitly:
