Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a coherent setup guide, but it asks users to connect their local AI gateway to an external service with weak disclosure and insecure transport.

Review carefully before installing. Use this only if you are comfortable allowing a third-party plugin and service to relay other users' messages to your local OpenClaw AI. Prefer a pinned and reviewed plugin version, HTTPS/WSS endpoints, localhost-only gateway binding, a dedicated no-tools assistant profile, strict rate limits, and revocable short-lived pairing credentials.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • 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

Missing User Warnings

Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs users to enable the Gateway HTTP API, install a third-party plugin, and connect to an external host and WebSocket bridge, but it does not clearly warn that this exposes the local AI service to external registration and message relay traffic. The repeated privacy reassurance ('your data stays private') combined with plain HTTP links to an IP address makes the omission more dangerous because it may lower user suspicion while encouraging trust in a remote service.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
85% confidence
Finding

The skill metadata advertises broad, user-invocable functionality without clear trigger boundaries or safety constraints, which can cause users to invoke it casually without understanding that it leads to installation of a network-connected plugin and exposure of local services. In this context, the vague description increases the chance of unsafe use because the skill ultimately facilitates external connectivity to a local AI gateway.
