Mac Maintenance

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward Mac maintenance skill that emphasizes inspection first and requires confirmation before risky system changes.

Before installing, understand that this skill is meant to help an agent inspect your Mac and suggest maintenance actions. It is appropriate for diagnostics, but you should still review proposed deletions, startup item changes, power setting changes, software installs/removals, and security setting changes before approving them.

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

Finding

Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

### OpenClaw-specific maintenance
- Run `openclaw status` when relevant.
- Check gateway health, channel state, update availability, and obvious warnings.
- Surface security warnings but do not change security-sensitive configuration without confirmation.
