Church Announcement (OpenClaw Church)

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill only gives instructions for drafting church announcements and does not request tools, credentials, persistence, or data access.

Installers should expect this skill to draft church announcement copy in English only; review placeholders such as contact or location before publishing or sending the text.

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
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The description says to use the skill whenever the user needs an announcement for a prayer meeting, baptism, potluck, service, or 'other church event,' which is a broad catch-all without clear boundaries or exclusion conditions. This can cause unintended invocation for many ordinary church-related writing requests because the trigger scope is not narrowly specified.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The instruction 'Output in English only' imposes a language restriction without offering the user a language choice or explaining why English is required. This is a natural-language policy concern because it mandates a specific language by default across all uses.
