Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a documentation-style API helper for APIClaw, and its external API use is disclosed and aligned with its purpose.

Before installing, users should understand that API queries and the APICLAW_API_KEY are sent to APIClaw, API calls consume credits, and the key should be stored securely and not pasted into logs or shared transcripts.

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
