Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward gaming-news RSS summarizer, with only normal web-fetching behavior and a minor installer-version caution.

Before installing, understand that the skill will fetch public gaming-news RSS feeds and may fetch article pages for deeper summaries. Prefer a pinned ClawHub installer version instead of `@latest` if your environment requires stricter supply-chain controls.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • 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

Finding

The README instructs users to run npx clawhub@latest install gamer-news, which pulls and executes the latest published clawhub package at install time rather than a pinned, reviewed version. If the package is compromised upstream or a breaking/malicious release is published, users following the documentation could execute attacker-controlled code on their systems.

Vague Triggers

Confidence

Finding

The auto-trigger list is broader than strict news intent and includes conversational phrases like asking what new games have come out, which can match general gaming chats rather than explicit requests for news retrieval. This can cause the skill to activate unexpectedly, pulling external content and steering the conversation away from the user's actual intent, especially in multilingual contexts where the trigger set is expansive.
