Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk
The skill has a coherent daily-briefing purpose, but it asks for broad private chat and secret-file access, uploads results externally, grants a fixed Feishu account full control, and understates those side effects.
Install only if this is intentionally for the named Chinese personal workflow and you are comfortable giving it access to private conversations, GetNote content, OpenClaw secret files, Feishu document creation, sharing, and deletion authority. Before use, remove hard-coded Feishu recipients and folder tokens, stop direct secret-file reads and credential-prefix logging, require a local preview, and make each external sync or permission change explicitly user-approved.

SKILL.md:64Security Declaration Materially Understates Privileges and External Side Effects
The skill is designed to read conversation history, infer the user's learning state and work status, and then archive that synthesized profile to multiple external platforms. This is sensitive behavioral profiling combined with cross-system data export, which creates significant privacy and confidentiality risk if activated without narrow scope and explicit consent.
The changelog explicitly instructs that runtime credentials must be read from openclaw.json and secrets.json because environment injection is unavailable. Normalizing direct secret-file access in the skill enables credential harvesting behavior and bypasses safer secret-delivery boundaries.
## v0.1.15 更新说明(2026-06-27 Bug 修复)
- **根因**:cron isolated session 不会自动注入 `GETNOTE_CLIENT_ID` 和 `GETNOTE_API_KEY` 环境变量,导致 `getnote auth login` 失败,提示"API未授权"。
- **修复**:新增「运行时凭证读取」章节,所有调用 Get笔记 CLI 的步骤均需先从配置文件(openclaw.json + secrets.json)读取凭证后再执行,彻底摆脱对环境变量的依赖。
## v0.1.14 更新说明(2026-06-06 Bug 修复)
- **根因**:cron 执行时使用了 `grep "^2026-06-05"`(行首匹配),但日期在最后一列(行首是笔记 ID),导致 7 条笔记全部漏读。v0.1.12/v0.1.13 均已警告此 Bug,但执行端仍违反。
The skill's security note materially misrepresents its behavior by claiming external API calls are read-only, while the documented workflow creates and updates Get notes, Feishu wiki nodes, Feishu docs, and permissions. This can mislead reviewers or operators into granting the skill broader trust and permissions than they otherwise would, increasing the chance of unauthorized data modification and exfiltration.
This line documents exact locations of live Getnote and Feishu secrets, giving the skill actionable instructions for credential retrieval. Providing a model with both the path and structure of secret storage materially lowers the barrier to credential misuse and cross-service abuse.
Get笔记 API 凭证存储位置:
- `GETNOTE_CLIENT_ID` → `openclaw.json` 的 `skills.entries.getnote.env.GETNOTE_CLIENT_ID`
- `GETNOTE_API_KEY` → `secrets.json` 的 `skills.entries.getnote.apiKey`(SecretRef 解析后的实际值)
飞书 appSecret → `secrets.json` 的 `channels.feishu.accounts.main.appSecret`
This instruction makes credential loading from local files mandatory before CLI use, effectively requiring the skill to perform secret extraction as part of normal operation. That broadens the skill's privilege boundary from document processing into credential access and reuse.
- `GETNOTE_CLIENT_ID` → `openclaw.json` 的 `skills.entries.getnote.env.GETNOTE_CLIENT_ID`
- `GETNOTE_API_KEY` → `secrets.json` 的 `skills.entries.getnote.apiKey`(SecretRef 解析后的实际值)
飞书 appSecret → `secrets.json` 的 `channels.feishu.accounts.main.appSecret`
> ⚠️ **核心约束**:cron isolated session **不会**自动注入环境变量 `GETNOTE_CLIENT_ID` 和 `GETNOTE_API_KEY`,所有调用 Get笔记 CLI 的 shell 命令前**必须**先从配置文件读取凭证(详见下方「运行时凭证读取」章节)。不读取凭证直接调用 CLI 会导致"API 未授权"错误。
The embedded Python snippet opens secrets.json directly, which is an explicit credential-access operation. Once the model is instructed to parse local secret stores, any compromise or prompt injection in the workflow can leverage those secrets beyond the intended note-sync task.
import json
with open('/Users/openclawer/.openclaw/openclaw.json') as f:
oc = json.load(f)
with open('/Users/openclawer/.openclaw/secrets.json') as f:
sec = json.load(f)
# GETNOTE_CLIENT_ID:从 openclaw.json 直接读取
This code path resolves the API key from a secret reference inside secrets.json, demonstrating structured extraction of a sensitive token. The danger is not just possession of the secret but teaching the agent how to traverse the secret schema to obtain it reliably.
# GETNOTE_CLIENT_ID:从 openclaw.json 直接读取
client_id = oc.get('skills',{}).get('entries',{}).get('getnote',{}).get('env',{}).get('GETNOTE_CLIENT_ID','')
# GETNOTE_API_KEY:从 secrets.json 读取(SecretRef 解析)
apikey_ref = oc.get('skills',{}).get('entries',{}).get('getnote',{}).get('apiKey',{})
if isinstance(apikey_ref, dict) and apikey_ref.get('source') == 'file':
key_path = apikey_ref.get('id','')
This repeated secret-file access in the auth flow reinforces credential extraction as a normal execution step and increases opportunities for accidental logging, mishandling, or reuse. Repetition across multiple workflow stages also makes containment harder because many code paths depend on raw secrets.
import json
with open('/Users/openclawer/.openclaw/openclaw.json') as f:
oc = json.load(f)
with open('/Users/openclawer/.openclaw/secrets.json') as f:
sec = json.load(f)
client_id = oc.get('skills',{}).get('entries',{}).get('getnote',{}).get('env',{}).get('GETNOTE_CLIENT_ID','')
apikey_ref = oc.get('skills',{}).get('entries',{}).get('getnote',{}).get('apiKey',{})
This step again reads secrets.json before data retrieval, meaning secret access is embedded into routine content-fetch operations. Coupling secret extraction with broad exec use makes the context more dangerous because the same execution surface can handle both sensitive credentials and outbound actions.
import json
with open('/Users/openclawer/.openclaw/openclaw.json') as f:
oc = json.load(f)
with open('/Users/openclawer/.openclaw/secrets.json') as f:
sec = json.load(f)
client_id = oc.get('skills',{}).get('entries',{}).get('getnote',{}).get('env',{}).get('GETNOTE_CLIENT_ID','')
apikey_ref = oc.get('skills',{}).get('entries',{}).get('getnote',{}).get('apiKey',{})
These steps direct the agent to enumerate sessions, retrieve session history, and use user messages as source material for the report. That converts private conversational data into an exportable artifact, increasing the risk of leaking sensitive discussions, credentials, or personal information into persistent external systems.
This workflow synchronizes a compiled briefing containing note content and conversation-derived analysis to multiple third-party destinations, including permission changes that grant another principal full access. Multi-destination export magnifies the blast radius of any mistaken inclusion of sensitive data and makes revocation and auditing harder.
The save operation once more requires reading secrets.json, this time for a write path that publishes content externally. That combination of credential access plus external write capability raises the stakes: a compromised or misfiring skill could both authenticate and exfiltrate without further barriers.
import json
with open('/Users/openclawer/.openclaw/openclaw.json') as f:
oc = json.load(f)
with open('/Users/openclawer/.openclaw/secrets.json') as f:
sec = json.load(f)
client_id = oc.get('skills',{}).get('entries',{}).get('getnote',{}).get('env',{}).get('GETNOTE_CLIENT_ID','')
apikey_ref = oc.get('skills',{}).get('entries',{}).get('getnote',{}).get('apiKey',{})
This code reads the Feishu appSecret from secrets.json in order to request a tenant access token. It enables the skill to mint fresh bearer tokens for downstream API operations, which is especially sensitive because token issuance expands access beyond a single pre-scoped command.
import json, urllib.request
with open('/Users/openclawer/.openclaw/openclaw.json') as f:
d = json.load(f)
# appSecret 从 secrets.json 读取
with open('/Users/openclawer/.openclaw/secrets.json') as f:
sec = json.load(f)
app_secret = sec.get('channels',{}).get('feishu',{}).get('accounts',{}).get('main',{}).get('appSecret','')
This is part of the same direct secret-file read for Feishu credentials, supporting external API authentication. In the context of a skill that also processes conversation history and exports documents, granting it token-generation capability is particularly dangerous because it enables authenticated sharing and permission changes.
with open('/Users/openclawer/.openclaw/openclaw.json') as f:
d = json.load(f)
# appSecret 从 secrets.json 读取
with open('/Users/openclawer/.openclaw/secrets.json') as f:
sec = json.load(f)
app_secret = sec.get('channels',{}).get('feishu',{}).get('accounts',{}).get('main',{}).get('appSecret','')
req = urllib.request.Request(
The trigger phrases are broad and overlap with routine requests like organizing logs or study notes, making accidental activation likely. Because this skill reads conversation history, local files, and synchronizes content to external services, overbroad triggering raises the chance of unintended sensitive-data processing.
This section instructs the agent to open local configuration and secret files and extract live credentials at runtime. Allowing a skill to read secrets from disk significantly expands its capability from content summarization to credential access, enabling reuse of those credentials for unintended services or actions.
The skill relies on arbitrary shell execution for orchestration, authentication checks, CLI invocation, and file operations. This broad exec-based design increases attack surface because any prompt injection, variable confusion, or future modification could turn a simple automation flow into unrestricted local command execution.
The curl command performs an external API request that modifies sharing permissions on a document, transmitting authorization material and granting full access to a fixed account. While permission management can be legitimate, embedding it in an auto-triggerable skill creates a real risk of unauthorized disclosure if the document contains sensitive compiled user data.

The entire template, including the title and all section headings, is written in Chinese and provides no indication that another language may be used. This creates a natural-language locale policy issue because it imposes a specific language by default without documented opt-in or justification.
The comment lists activation phrases exclusively in Chinese, which implies a language-specific invocation policy. Because the file does not provide user opt-in, alternatives, or justification for a Chinese-only constraint, this is a natural-language locale policy concern.
The natural-language description and required outputs are written as Chinese-only instructions, including fixed Chinese output forms such as the reporting template and notification wording. There is no indication that the user may choose another language or locale, which can violate language-choice policy absent justification.
No suspicious patterns detected.
