Overview

This memory skill fits its stated purpose in part, but it needs Review because it can expose and alter long-term memories through under-disclosed external Gemini calls, broad local environment capture, and weakly protected local services.

Review this carefully before installing. Use it only if you are comfortable with a persistent memory service that can store personal and business context, modify OpenClaw configuration, run Docker services, and potentially send memory/query/conversation data to Gemini when a key is present. Prefer a local-only configuration with authentication enabled, do not run the execution-awareness encoder until you inspect its proposed memories, and verify the release artifact before running install scripts.

Vulnerability Patterns

• Agent Memory Poisoning: Writes attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
• Remote Payload Retrieval and Execution: Fetches external code whose behavior can change after review
• Unauthorized Access and Privilege Escalation: Obtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
• Insecure Dependencies: Introduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
• Insecure Skill Coding Practices: Finds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection

• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Remove implicit credential discovery from unrelated legacy configuration paths. 2. Disable every Gemini-backed feature by default, independently of whether a credential happens to exist. 3. Require explicit, documented, feature-specific consent for smart recall, prediction, synthesis, and auto-encoding. 4. Present a preview of the exact fields that will be transmitted before enabling external processing. 5. Preserve a guaranteed local-only execution path and add automated tests asserting that it performs no external requests. 6. Minimize and redact prompts before transmission, especially conversation text, personal identifiers, credentials, and business data. 7. Use an authenticated header instead of a URL query parameter where the external API supports it. 8. Update the privacy documentation and Skill permissions so they accurately enumerate every external-data flow. 9. Add outbound network controls so the gateway cannot contact external services unless the corresponding feature is explicitly enabled. ]]>

• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Remove hard-coded Discord identifiers, external-service promotion, fleet-specific instructions, and autonomous scheduling policy. 2. Limit introspection output to factual, locally verified capability metadata. 3. Require users to review and approve every proposed procedural memory before it is persisted. 4. Clearly distinguish observed facts from behavioral policy and user-authored instructions. 5. Do not preferentially boost package-authored memories during execution decisions. 6. Namespace generated records and provide a one-command mechanism to inspect and delete all generated entries. 7. Validate that a tool is genuinely available and authorized before storing a claim that it can be used. 8. Apply provenance and trust labels during recall so third-party Skill content cannot override user policy or current-session safety constraints. ]]>

T05 · Unauthorized Access and Privilege Escalation

Error

• Location: gateway.js:690
• Finding: Gateway Is Unauthenticated by Default and the Process Listens on All Network Interfaces<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `gateway.js:690-699`, `gateway.js:712-870`, `gateway.js:1746-1754` **Vulnerability Type**: Missing authentication and unsafe network binding **Risk Level**: High ### Vulnerable Code ```js const API_KEY = process.env.BRAINDB_API_KEY; if (API_KEY) { app.use((req, res, next) => { // Health check is always public (for Docker healthcheck + monitoring) if (req.path === '/health') return next(); const auth = req.headers.authorization; if (auth === `Bearer ${API_KEY}`) return next(); res.status(401).json({ ok: false, error: 'Unauthorized' }); }); console.log('🔐 API key authentication enabled'); } ``` Sensitive routes are registered even when the optional key is absent: ```js app.post('/memory/encode', async (req, res) => { try { const result = await encode(req.body); res.json({ ok: true, ...result }); } catch (e) { res.status(400).json({ ok: false, error: e.message }); } }); app.post('/memory/recall', async (req, res) => { try { const { query, executionAware, ...rest } = req.body; const results = await recall({ query, executionAware, ...rest }); res.json({ ok: true, count: results.length, results }); } catch (e) { res.status(400).json({ ok: false, error: e.message }); } }); ``` The process listens on every interface: ```js const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3333; app.listen(PORT, '0.0.0.0', () => { console.log(`🧠 BrainDB Gateway v0.5.0 listening on port ${PORT}`); console.log(` Architecture: ${ARCHITECTURE}`); console.log(` Shards: ${Object.keys(SHARDS).join(', ')}`); console.log(` Auth: ${API_KEY ? 'API key required' : 'open (localhost only)'}`); }); ``` ### Technical Analysis Authentication middleware is installed only when `BRAINDB_API_KEY` is non-empty.

• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Bind to `127.0.0.1` by default and require an explicit setting to listen on any other interface. 2. Generate a strong gateway secret during installation and require authentication by default. 3. Fail closed at startup if authentication is not configured, unless an explicit development-only mode is selected. 4. Protect all sensitive endpoints, including cache, queue, configuration, statistics, and session-context routes. 5. Use constant-time credential comparison and support secret rotation. 6. Add endpoint-specific authorization, rate limiting, request validation, and audit logging. 7. Restrict CORS and reject untrusted proxy forwarding configurations. 8. Clearly document the distinction between process binding and Docker host-port mapping. ]]>

• Location: install.sh:123
• Finding: Shell-Controlled Values Are Interpolated into Dynamically Executed JavaScript<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `install.sh:49-55`, `install.sh:123-158`; `uninstall.sh:197-217` **Vulnerability Type**: JavaScript injection through shell interpolation **Risk Level**: High ### Vulnerable Code ```sh WORKSPACE=$(node -e " try { const c = require('$OPENCLAW_CONFIG'); console.log(c.agents?.defaults?.workspace || ''); } catch { console.log(''); } " 2>/dev/null || echo "") ``` The installer later interpolates the same path and a port value into executable JavaScript: ```sh node -e " const fs = require('fs'); const config = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('$OPENCLAW_CONFIG', 'utf8')); if (!config.plugins) config.plugins = {}; if (!config.plugins.slots) config.plugins.slots = {}; config.plugins.slots.memory = 'braindb'; if (!config.plugins.entries) config.plugins.entries = {}; config.plugins.entries.braindb = { enabled: true, config: { gatewayUrl: 'http://localhost:$BRAINDB_PORT', autoCapture: true, autoRecall: true, maxRecallResults: 7, minMessageLength: 20 } }; fs.writeFileSync('$OPENCLAW_CONFIG', JSON.stringify(config, null, 2)); " ``` The uninstaller uses the same pattern: ```sh node -e " const fs = require('fs'); const config = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('$OPENCLAW_CONFIG', 'utf8')); if (config.plugins?.slots?.memory === 'braindb') { delete config.plugins.slots.memory; } if (config.plugins?.entries?.braindb) { delete config.plugins.entries.braindb; } fs.writeFileSync('$OPENCLAW_CONFIG', JSON.stringify(config, null, 2)); " ``` ### Technical Analysis `OPENCLAW_CONFIG` is environment-controlled, and `BRAINDB_PORT` can be influenced by arguments or the environment. These values are inserted directly into source code passed to `node -e`. A value containing a quote followed by JavaScript syntax can terminate the intended string and introduce arbitrary JavaScript. Shell quoting does not make the interpolated value safe inside the ...[truncated 830 chars]
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Never construct JavaScript source using shell-expanded values. 2. Pass paths and ports as positional arguments: ```sh node patch-config.cjs "$OPENCLAW_CONFIG" "$BRAINDB_PORT" ``` 3. Read those values from `process.argv` in a static script. 4. Validate ports as integers in the range 1–65535. 5. Resolve and validate configuration paths before opening them. 6. Use atomic configuration updates with restrictive permissions and a backup. 7. Apply the same correction to both installation and uninstallation code. ]]>

Error

• Location: setup.sh:32
• Finding: Setup Executes the Contents of an Existing .env File as Shell Code<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `setup.sh:32-40` **Vulnerability Type**: Arbitrary shell execution through unsafe environment-file loading **Risk Level**: High ### Vulnerable Code ```sh # Create .env with secure random password if missing if [ ! -f .env ]; then RANDOM_PASS=$(openssl rand -base64 18 | tr -d '/+=' | head -c 24) sed "s/CHANGE_ME/$RANDOM_PASS/" .env.example > .env echo "📋 Created .env with auto-generated Neo4j password" fi # Source .env for port variables set -a; source .env 2>/dev/null || true; set +a ``` ### Technical Analysis An environment file is expected to contain passive key/value configuration, but `source .env` instructs Bash to parse it as executable shell code. Command substitutions, function definitions, redirections, and arbitrary shell statements in an existing `.env` therefore run immediately. Suppressing errors and continuing with `|| true` does not limit execution. It may instead conceal indicators that the file contained unexpected syntax. ### Attack Path 1. An attacker modifies or plants `.env` in the project directory. 2. The file contains a payload such as a command substitution or standalone shell command. 3. The user runs `setup.sh`. 4. Bash sources `.env` and executes the payload with the user's privileges. 5. Setup continues, potentially hiding the compromise among normal Docker operations. ### Impact Assessment The payload gains all filesystem, process, credential, Docker, and network privileges available to the invoking user. Membership in the Docker group can effectively provide host-level control, making exploitation especially consequential. ]]>
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Do not source `.env`. 2. Parse it with a strict library or a minimal parser that accepts only approved `KEY=VALUE` records. 3. Reject shell metacharacters, command substitutions, duplicate keys, and unknown variables. 4. Allow-list expected fields such as `GATEWAY_PORT`, `NEO4J_USER`, and `NEO4J_PASSWORD`. 5. Create the file with restrictive permissions, such as mode `0600`. 6. Warn or abort if an existing file has unsafe ownership or is writable by other users. 7. Do not suppress parser errors; fail closed when configuration is malformed. ]]>

T03 · Remote Payload Retrieval and Execution

Error

• Location: SKILL.md:23
• Finding: Downloaded Skill Archive Is Executed Without Integrity or Signature Verification<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `SKILL.md:23-32`, `SKILL.md:70-74` **Vulnerability Type**: Unverified remote payload retrieval and execution **Risk Level**: High ### Vulnerable Code ```json "install": [ { "id": "release-download", "kind": "download", "url": "https://github.com/Chair4ce/braindb/releases/download/v0.5.0/braindb-v0.5.0.zip", "archive": "zip", "extract": true, "stripComponents": 1, "targetDir": "~/.openclaw/plugins/braindb", "label": "Download BrainDB v0.5.0", "postInstall": "cd ~/.openclaw/plugins/braindb && bash install.sh" } ] ``` The documented manual path similarly executes repository content: ```sh git clone https://github.com/Chair4ce/braindb.git ~/.openclaw/plugins/braindb cd ~/.openclaw/plugins/braindb bash install.sh ``` ### Technical Analysis The Skill downloads and extracts a remote archive and immediately executes `install.sh`, but no cryptographic checksum, detached signature, or immutable commit identity is specified. The manual installation follows the repository's current default branch rather than a reviewed commit. HTTPS protects transport in normal circumstances but does not establish that the downloaded content is the exact artifact that was audited. A compromised maintainer account, replaced release asset, repository compromise, or altered default branch can change the effective installation payload after review. ### Attack Path 1. A release asset, repository account, or default branch is compromised or modified. 2. The attacker replaces the archive or changes `install.sh`. 3. A user installs the Skill using the declared download or manual clone procedure. 4. The installer extracts the changed content. 5. `bash install.sh` executes the attacker-controlled payload locally. ### Impact Assessment The remote payload executes with the privileges of the installing user and can access OpenClaw configuration, workspace memory files, Docker, network credentials, an ...[truncated 125 chars]
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Publish and verify a SHA-256 digest for the release archive before extraction. 2. Sign release artifacts and verify signatures against a documented trusted key. 3. Pin manual installation instructions to an immutable Git commit. 4. Separate download, verification, extraction, and execution steps. 5. Refuse installation when integrity verification fails. 6. Publish reproducible build instructions so users can compare the release artifact with source. 7. Avoid automatically executing post-install scripts from unverified archives. ]]>

T08 · Insecure Dependencies

Warning

• Location: package.json:6
• Finding: Third-Party Runtime Components Are Not Pinned to Immutable Versions<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `package.json:6-8`, `docker-compose.yml:3`, `embedder.py:11-14` **Vulnerability Type**: Mutable and insufficiently pinned dependencies **Risk Level**: Medium ### Vulnerable Code ```json { "dependencies": { "express": "^5.2.1" } } ``` ```yaml services: neo4j: image: neo4j:5-community ``` ```python MODEL_NAME = 'all-mpnet-base-v2' print(f"🧠 Loading embedding model ({MODEL_NAME})...", flush=True) start = time.time() model = SentenceTransformer(MODEL_NAME) ``` ### Technical Analysis The npm dependency uses a caret range and the supplied project contains no package lockfile. The Neo4j image uses a mutable major-version tag rather than an immutable image digest. The sentence-transformers model is loaded by name without a specific model revision. Consequently, separate builds of the same reviewed project can retrieve different package, image, or model content. This weakens reproducibility and allows an upstream compromise or unexpected release to alter the effective runtime. The supplied Compose file also references `Dockerfile.gateway` and `Dockerfile.embedder`, which are absent from the audited directory, preventing verification of how these dependencies would be installed and which user the containers would actually run as. ### Attack Path 1. An upstream package, container tag, or model repository is compromised or publishes an unsafe replacement. 2. A user performs a new installation or rebuild. 3. The package manager, container runtime, or model loader resolves the mutable reference to changed content. 4. The changed component runs inside the BrainDB environment and processes sensitive persistent memories. ### Impact Assessment A compromised dependency could read or alter stored memories, intercept local API traffic, execute code inside a container, or exploit mounted data and network access. The exact host impact depends on the missing Dockerfiles and container restrictions, but conf ...[truncated 76 chars]
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Pin npm packages to exact versions and commit a lockfile with integrity hashes. 2. Use `npm ci` in builds rather than unconstrained dependency resolution. 3. Pin container images by digest, for example `image: repository@sha256:...`. 4. Pin the embedding model to a trusted repository and immutable revision. 5. Maintain an SBOM and use automated dependency and container vulnerability scanning. 6. Include the referenced Dockerfiles in the distributed project so container privileges and build inputs can be audited. 7. Rebuild and test dependency updates through a controlled review process rather than resolving mutable versions during production installation. ]]>

These capabilities can expose user content to third parties, capture operational telemetry beyond expected memory features, and create powerful control surfaces that may be abused if not clearly documented and access-restricted.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High

• Confidence: 97% confidence
• Finding: The script performs broad host introspection far beyond a narrowly scoped 'persistent semantic memory' function: it enumerates installed CLI tools, user and workspace scripts, installed skills, and fleet metadata. This creates an unnecessary inventory of the local environment that can expose sensitive operational details and expands the blast radius if the BrainDB endpoint is compromised or misconfigured.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

High

• Confidence: 98% confidence
• Finding: The script reads arbitrary files from ~/bin and the workspace scripts directory, extracting content and paths to encode into memory. This can disclose private script names, internal tooling, filesystem layout, and embedded comments that may contain operational secrets or sensitive business context, none of which is necessary for core memory persistence.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

High

• Confidence: 95% confidence
• Finding: Harvesting installed skill metadata and fleet node information creates an internal capability map of the environment, including available skills and remote infrastructure. Such inventory data is highly useful for follow-on abuse because it reveals what systems exist, where they are located, and which mechanisms can be used to act on them.

Missing User Warnings

High

• Confidence: 97% confidence
• Finding: The Gemini routing stage sends user queries together with candidate memory snippets to an external provider without visible disclosure. Because candidate snippets come from long-term memory, this can leak previously stored sensitive facts, preferences, relationships, or business information during normal recall operations.

Ssd 3

High

• Confidence: 99% confidence
• Finding: The prompt explicitly instructs Gemini to predict follow-up questions about a person's preferences, relationships, business specifics, and personal details from recent queries. This is deliberate sensitive-data inference and profiling, which is especially dangerous in a persistent memory system because the outputs can drive further caching, retrieval, and exposure of private information.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

High

• Confidence: 99% confidence
• Finding: The auto-encode endpoint sends raw user and agent conversation content to Gemini for long-term memory distillation. Because the prompt explicitly asks for user-specific personal, business, relationship, and preference details, sensitive data can be disclosed to a third party and then persisted indefinitely, compounding privacy and compliance risk.

Missing User Warnings

High

• Confidence: 99% confidence
• Finding: This code transmits user and agent messages to external Gemini APIs for memory extraction, but there is no visible notice, consent flow, or user-facing disclosure in this file. In a memory product handling long-term personal data, undisclosed third-party processing materially increases privacy, legal, and trust risk.

Ssd 3

High

• Confidence: 99% confidence
• Finding: The auto-encoding prompt instructs the model to retain long-term personal and business details such as family, schedule, clients, pricing, and pet peeves. This is a direct mechanism for building a persistent dossier of sensitive user information, with both external transmission and durable local storage, making the memory-skill context significantly more dangerous.

Ssd 3

High

• Confidence: 98% confidence
• Finding: The session-context endpoint persists recent user messages, active tasks, pending questions, decisions, and summaries into memory. In a long-term memory system, this creates a high risk of storing raw conversational and behavioral data that may contain secrets, personal information, or sensitive operational details beyond what is necessary for compaction-proof context.

• Confidence: 90% confidence
• Finding: Remote code is downloaded and executed. This bypasses code review and could introduce malicious code.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

High

• Confidence: 98% confidence
• Finding: The optional Swarm mode sends workspace-derived content to another service for extraction, creating a clear external data-transfer path for potentially sensitive local documents. In this skill context, that is especially risky because the source material includes personal memory files and operational notes, and the manifest does not make third-party processing a primary expected behavior.
