Security audit
AOI Hackathon Scout (Lite)
Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk
Overview
This skill is a small hackathon registry helper that reads declared local context files and prints filtered results, with no hidden crawling, submissions, or remote code execution found.
Install is reasonable if you want a local hackathon source helper. Review the optional Brave Search setup before using it because it stores a search API key in OpenClaw config; the core skill does not require keys.
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
