OpenClaw Anything (efrageek fork)

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed OpenClaw CLI wrapper and documentation companion with high-risk operations called out and mostly gated behind explicit opt-in.

Install this only if you intend to administer an OpenClaw environment. Review commands before running them, set OPENCLAW_WRAPPER_ALLOW_RISKY=1 only for a specific high-risk task, and be especially careful with service installation, cron changes, plugin installation, browser automation, device pairing, messaging, and non-loopback gateway exposure.

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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • 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

Medium
Category
Excessive Agency
Content
- Do not chain high-risk actions into unattended workflows by default.

## High-risk Categories
- Shell execution features (`exec`) that can run arbitrary commands
- Elevated privilege flows
- Sub-agent delegation with inherited environment/context
- Plugin install from external sources
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding
Skill grants unrestricted tool access without appropriate constraints. An agent with unfettered tool access can perform arbitrary actions including file modification, network requests, and code execution.
