OpenClaw Memory Distill

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a clearly scoped memory-distillation helper that writes disclosed workspace memory files and includes user-confirmation and sensitive-data safeguards.

Install only if you want the agent to maintain plaintext memory files in your workspace. Review the first distillation report before confirming writes, keep autoWrite disabled unless you accept unattended memory updates, and avoid storing secrets or third-party private data in memory files.

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

This SVG includes user-facing Chinese text mixed into the skill presentation, but there is no indication that language selection is optional or user-configurable. Under the policy for natural-language violations, fixed locale presentation without opt-in can be a language/locale policy issue.
