Slack Block Kit

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a coherent Slack Block Kit helper that can generate and post Slack messages, with its Slack API/token use disclosed and aligned to that purpose.

Install only for workspaces where the agent is allowed to compose or send Slack messages. Confirm the destination channel, thread, and content before using the direct Slack API posting path, and keep Slack bot tokens in configured secrets rather than pasted into chat or logs.

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

For raw Slack Block Kit JSON, use Slack chat.postMessage directly. The OpenClaw message tool schema accepts presentation, not a top-level raw blocks array.

bash
curl -s -X POST https://slack.com/api/chat.postMessage \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SLACK_BOT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "$(jq -n \

Finding

The skill enables implicit invocation while using a very broad default prompt about creating Slack Block Kit messages. Because many ordinary user requests about Slack formatting, messages, tables, buttons, or layouts could match this language, the agent may invoke the skill unexpectedly and cause actions or message generation outside the user's precise intent. In a Slack-integrated context, this increases the risk of unintended message composition or downstream posting workflows.
