Clawhub Gate

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a real security-gate helper, but it can publish a skill even when the user asks for the documented local-only check.

Install only if you are comfortable with a helper that can publish or update ClawHub skills using your logged-in account. Do not rely on `--local-only` as written; the script should be fixed to skip `clawhub sync` before any local-only run and should require an explicit publish confirmation.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The skill performs network-capable actions (`clawhub sync` and polling a remote API, plus reading a local token from `~/.config/clawhub/config.json`) but declares no corresponding permissions or capabilities in the manifest. This creates a transparency and policy-enforcement gap: users or the hosting platform may not realize the skill can publish content and make authenticated network requests.

Vague Triggers

High
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The manifest trigger regexes are extremely broad (`(.*)` around generic words like '发布', 'sync', '安全', '检测'), making accidental activation likely in ordinary conversation. Because this skill can run local scanners, read config, perform authenticated network polling, and invoke `clawhub sync` to publish/update a skill, unintended activation could cause disruptive or unauthorized actions.
