Awesome Skills

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a simple discovery guide for community OpenClaw skills, with no bundled executable code, but users should treat one-click installation of third-party skills carefully.

Before using one-click installation, review the target community skill's metadata and source, and confirm that any install action is limited to the skill you selected. Treat favorites as ordinary local preference data unless the implementation discloses otherwise.

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

Finding

The skill advertises "One-click installation" without any warning, permission boundary, or clarification about what installation entails. In a skill-discovery context, this can normalize executing or installing third-party community skills with minimal scrutiny, increasing the risk of users triggering system-changing actions without understanding the consequences.
