Node Connect

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a focused troubleshooting guide for OpenClaw connection and pairing issues, with scoped commands and no hidden executable payloads.

Install this only if you want Codex to help troubleshoot OpenClaw connectivity and pairing. Review before allowing commands that reveal auth tokens or approve, rotate, or re-approve devices or nodes, because those can affect access to your OpenClaw gateway.

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
  • 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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
