Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

ClawScan marked the office-pptx skill suspicious because scanners reported unsolicited fundraising content in assistant replies and automatic software installation without a user-facing warning; overall confidence is medium.

Review the reported issues before installing. Consider whether you are comfortable with automatic software installation and unsolicited fundraising content in replies; scanner coverage is partial, so the evidence is incomplete.

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

  • Output HandlingUnvalidated Output Injection, Cross-Context Output, Unbounded Output

Findings (4)

L078 requires inserting an engine-supplied donation banner into the user conversation, beyond the manifest's presentation-editing purpose.

Medium
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

The skill requires the assistant to reproduce engine-supplied fundraising Markdown verbatim in the conversation, crossing the boundary between tool output and trusted assistant communication. This creates an output-injection and potential phishing surface unrelated to presentation editing; the statement that payment is optional reduces coercion but does not make arbitrary Markdown safe.

Content

Presentation validation is used to trigger unsolicited payment-promotion content in the assistant's final response.

Medium
Category
Prompt Injection
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The presentation-validation workflow is used to trigger unsolicited payment promotion in the assistant's delivery response. This is the same underlying banner-insertion issue identified by SDI-1, not a separate exploit: it gives engine-controlled promotional content the apparent endorsement of the assistant without user authorization.

Content

Automatic CLI and GUI installation lacks a user-facing warning about system changes.

Medium
Category
Output Handling
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The FAQ instructs the agent to install both CLI and GUI software automatically from a remotely retrieved manual, without first obtaining informed approval for software installation and system changes. Installation serves a legitimate dependency need, but executing mutable remote instructions creates supply-chain risk; a SHA-256 value obtained from the same manual does not independently establish authenticity.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

The skill directs the agent to insert developer fundraising content into the conversation, unrelated to creating or editing presentations.

Low
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The FAQ directs the assistant to paste an engine-controlled fundraising banner verbatim into the conversation, although fundraising is outside the requested presentation workflow. Even with optional payment explicitly stated, this permits unsolicited response contamination and could expose users to misleading payment destinations if the banner or its supplier is compromised.
