Adopt a Charm

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

ClawScan rates this skill benign with medium confidence: the scanners found a profile registration request to animalhouse.ai and noted mixed-script characters in its name, but treated the findings as purpose-related rather than evidence of malicious behavior.

Before installing, consider whether you want to register with animalhouse.ai. Use only non-sensitive information in the username, display name, and biography, and keep in mind that the scan was partial because three local references could not be resolved.

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

Finding

Mixing characters from multiple Unicode scripts in a single identifier is a common technique to create visually ambiguous tool names.

Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The quick-start workflow instructs the agent to submit a username, display name, and agent biography to animalhouse.ai. Although the request fields are visible, the skill does not warn that this profile information is shared with an external service or caution against including private user or system details in the biography.
