Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is not clearly malicious, but it gives an agent broad persistent memory, self-modification, background work, and cleanup authority that users should review carefully before installing.

Install only if you intentionally want a workspace-level proactive agent memory system. Back up existing AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, USER.md, MEMORY.md, HEARTBEAT.md, and TOOLS.md before copying assets; use a no-overwrite or manual merge process. Do not enable heartbeats, cron jobs, isolated autonomous turns, email/calendar/browser access, cleanup, or policy-file edits unless you have reviewed the exact actions and are comfortable with persistent memory of personal and project details.

Installation Can Overwrite Persistent Agent Policy and Identity Files<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `SKILL.md:84-90`, with the installed policy defined in `assets/AGENTS.md:1-17` and `assets/SOUL.md:9-24` **Vulnerability Type**: Persistent instruction and policy replacement **Risk Level**: High ### Vulnerable Code ```markdown ## Quick Start 1. Copy assets to your workspace: `cp assets/*.md ./` 2. Your agent detects `ONBOARDING.md` and offers to get to know you 3. Answer questions (all at once, or drip over time) 4. Agent auto-populates USER.md and SOUL.md from your answers 5. Run security audit: `./scripts/security-audit.sh` ``` The copied `assets/AGENTS.md` begins with persistent operating instructions: ```markdown # AGENTS.md - Operating Rules > Your operating system. Rules, workflows, and learned lessons. ## First Run If `BOOTSTRAP.md` exists, follow it, then delete it. ## Every Session Before doing anything: 1. Read `SOUL.md` — who you are 2. Read `USER.md` — who you're helping 3. Read `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` (today + yesterday) for recent context 4. In main sessions: also read `MEMORY.md` Don't ask permission. Just do it. ``` ### Technical Analysis The installation command copies every Markdown asset directly into the workspace without checking whether files already exist. Standard `cp` behavior overwrites destination files with matching names unless interactive or no-clobber options are enabled. The affected filenames include `AGENTS.md`, `SOUL.md`, `USER.md`, `MEMORY.md`, `HEARTBEAT.md`, and `TOOLS.md`. These are not ordinary documentation files in the declared architecture: they define persistent operating rules, agent identity, user context, memory, and periodic behavior. Consequently, the installation process can replace pre-existing safety constraints and user-specific configuration. The copied `AGENTS.md` then directs the agent to load these files before every session, making the policy change persistent rather than limited to the installation task. ### Attack Path 1. A user inst ...[truncated 966 chars]
Remediation
<![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Replace the overwrite command with a dedicated installation or merge process. 2. Use `cp -n` by default so existing files are not replaced. 3. Display a diff for every existing destination file and require explicit approval before modification. 4. Back up files before approved replacement and provide a documented rollback procedure. 5. Treat `AGENTS.md`, `SOUL.md`, `MEMORY.md`, and similar control files as security-sensitive configuration. 6. Install sample files under a separate template directory rather than directly into the active workspace. 7. Clearly enumerate every file that installation will create or modify. ]]>

Automatic Mutation of Persistent Memory and Agent Policy Without Review<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `assets/AGENTS.md:29-35` and `assets/AGENTS.md:135-142`; related automatic state-writing instructions appear in `SKILL.md:140-175` **Vulnerability Type**: Persistent memory and policy poisoning **Risk Level**: High ### Vulnerable Code ```markdown ### Write It Down - Memory is limited — if you want to remember something, WRITE IT - "Mental notes" don't survive session restarts - "Remember this" → update daily notes or relevant file - Learn a lesson → update AGENTS.md, TOOLS.md, or skill file - Make a mistake → document it so future-you doesn't repeat it ``` ```markdown ## Self-Improvement After every mistake or learned lesson: 1. Identify the pattern 2. Figure out a better approach 3. Update AGENTS.md, TOOLS.md, or relevant file immediately Don't wait for permission to improve. If you learned something, write it down now. ``` The active Skill also requires automatic state writes: ```markdown **If ANY of these appear:** 1. **STOP** — Do not start composing your response 2. **WRITE** — Update SESSION-STATE.md with the detail 3. **THEN** — Respond to your human ``` ### Technical Analysis The Skill authorizes the agent to convert conversation content and inferred lessons into persistent files without user review. The possible write targets include not only ordinary notes but also `AGENTS.md`, `TOOLS.md`, and Skill files, which can influence future operating behavior. Persistent state is subsequently treated as trusted context and reloaded in later sessions. The design does not require provenance metadata, distinguish direct user instructions from quoted or untrusted content, validate proposed policy changes, or provide an approval boundary for modifying agent-control files. Although the package separately tells the agent not to follow instructions from external content, that defense does not adequately protect the memory-writing path. Incorrect interpretations, content accidentally treated as a user pr ...[truncated 1115 chars]
Remediation
<![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Prohibit automatic modification of `AGENTS.md`, `SOUL.md`, Skill files, and other policy-bearing files. 2. Require explicit user approval and a visible diff before changing persistent operating rules. 3. Store observations in a quarantined, non-authoritative journal before promoting them into trusted memory. 4. Record provenance, timestamp, source trust level, and confidence for every persisted item. 5. Prevent external, quoted, retrieved, or tool-generated content from being promoted into persistent instructions. 6. Provide review, expiry, deletion, and rollback controls for long-term memory. 7. Restrict automatic WAL writes to task-specific state and avoid collecting unrelated personal information. ]]>

Heartbeat Instructions Authorize Excessive Unattended Access and Destructive Side Effects<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `assets/HEARTBEAT.md:26-46`, `assets/HEARTBEAT.md:68-92`, and `assets/HEARTBEAT.md:118-124` **Vulnerability Type**: Excessive privilege and unattended system access **Risk Level**: High ### Vulnerable Code ```markdown ## 🔧 Self-Healing Check ### Log Review ```bash # Check recent logs for issues tail -100 /tmp/clawdbot/*.log | grep -i "error\|fail\|warn" ``` Look for: - Recurring errors - Tool failures - API timeouts - Integration issues ### Diagnose & Fix When issues found: 1. Research root cause 2. Attempt fix if within capability 3. Test the fix 4. Document in daily notes 5. Update TOOLS.md if recurring ``` ```markdown ## 🧹 System Cleanup ### Close Unused Apps Check for apps not used recently, close if safe. Leave alone: Finder, Terminal, core apps Safe to close: Preview, TextEdit, one-off apps ### Browser Tab Hygiene - Keep: Active work, frequently used - Close: Random searches, one-off pages - Bookmark first if potentially useful ### Desktop Cleanup - Move old screenshots to trash - Flag unexpected files ``` ```markdown ## 📊 Proactive Work Things to check periodically: - Emails - anything urgent? - Calendar - upcoming events? - Projects - progress updates? - Ideas - what could be built? ``` ### Technical Analysis The heartbeat is designed for periodic execution, but it authorizes broad access to private logs, email, calendars, projects, browser state, applications, and desktop files. It also authorizes state-changing operations such as applying fixes, closing applications and tabs, changing documentation, removing outdated memory, and moving screenshots to trash. These privileges exceed what is minimally necessary to provide memory continuity or proactive suggestions. There is no per-resource opt-in, action allowlist, read-only default, or clear requirement for contemporaneous confirmation. The instruction to move screenshots to trash also conflicts with `assets/AGENTS.md:53`, which stat ...[truncated 1180 chars]
Remediation
<![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Make heartbeat operation read-only by default. 2. Require separate, explicit opt-in for email, calendar, browser, application, desktop, and system-log access. 3. Require confirmation immediately before closing applications or tabs, deleting or trashing files, or applying fixes. 4. Restrict log access to an approved path and redact credentials, tokens, personal data, and message content. 5. Replace ambiguous criteria such as “old,” “unused,” and “safe” with user-defined rules. 6. Limit proactive activity to producing recommendations or drafts rather than executing changes. 7. Resolve policy conflicts by making deletion confirmation mandatory in every workflow. 8. Record an audit log of each heartbeat resource access and proposed action. ]]>

Skill Promotes Persistent Scheduled and Autonomous Agent Execution<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `SKILL-v2.3-backup.md:376-386`; related autonomous execution guidance appears in `SKILL.md:351-392` **Vulnerability Type**: Cross-session scheduled persistence **Risk Level**: Medium ### Vulnerable Code ```markdown **2. Schedule it:** Add a weekly cron job that fires a reminder: ``` ```text cron action=add job={ "name": "reverse-prompting-weekly", "sessionTarget": "main", "schedule": {"kind": "cron", "expr": "0 14 * * 0", "tz": "America/Los_Angeles"}, "payload": {"kind": "systemEvent", "text": "REVERSE PROMPTING TIME: Ask your human what interesting things you could do that they haven't thought of, and what information would help you be more useful."} } ``` ```markdown **3. Add to AGENTS.md NEVER FORGET:** Put a trigger in your always-visible section so you see it every response. ``` The active Skill additionally recommends unattended turns: ```markdown **The Fix:** Use `isolated agentTurn` for anything that should happen *without* requiring main session attention. ``` ```json { "sessionTarget": "isolated", "payload": { "kind": "agentTurn", "message": "AUTONOMOUS: Read SESSION-STATE.md, compare to recent session history, update if stale..." } } ``` ### Technical Analysis The package provides a concrete command for installing a recurring cron job and recommends persistent reinforcement in `AGENTS.md`. The current version also presents isolated autonomous agent turns as the preferred mechanism for background work. Scheduled jobs and persistent policy triggers survive the original Skill interaction. The guidance does not specify expiration, least-privilege capabilities, an uninstall procedure, ownership tracking, or safeguards preventing autonomous jobs from accessing private state or mutating memory. The demonstrated cron payload is a reminder rather than a backdoor, but the mechanism creates persistent behavior and the active guidance encourages converting prompted checks into ...[truncated 970 chars]
Remediation
<![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Require explicit, informed user approval immediately before creating any scheduled job. 2. Present job name, schedule, payload, accessible resources, and expected side effects before approval. 3. Make examples disabled by default and avoid instructing the agent to register them automatically. 4. Assign every job an expiration time and narrowly scoped capability set. 5. Provide documented commands to list, disable, and remove all jobs installed by the Skill. 6. Avoid isolated autonomous turns for tasks involving personal data, external services, policy files, or persistent memory. 7. Log every execution and notify the user when a scheduled job changes state. ]]>

Secret Scanner Can Miss Files While Reporting Scan Completion<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `scripts/security-audit.sh:53-64` **Vulnerability Type**: Incomplete and unsafe file enumeration in a security control **Risk Level**: Medium ### Vulnerable Code ```bash # 2. Check for exposed secrets in common files echo "🔍 Scanning for exposed secrets..." SECRET_PATTERNS="(api[_-]?key|apikey|secret|password|token|auth).*[=:].{10,}" for f in $(ls *.md *.json *.yaml *.yml .env* 2>/dev/null || true); do if [ -f "$f" ]; then matches=$(grep -iE "$SECRET_PATTERNS" "$f" 2>/dev/null | grep -v "example\|template\|placeholder\|your-\|<\|TODO" || true) if [ -n "$matches" ]; then warn "Possible secret in $f - review manually" fi fi done pass "Secret scan complete" ``` Related credential permission guidance states: ```markdown - All credentials in `.credentials/` directory - Directory and files chmod 600 (owner-only) ``` ### Technical Analysis The loop parses the output of `ls` through command substitution. Shell word splitting and pathname expansion are then applied to that output. Filenames containing whitespace, newlines, or glob characters may therefore be split, altered, or skipped. The scan is also limited to matching files in the current directory. It does not recursively inspect subdirectories, despite the project architecture using directories such as `memory/`, `notes/`, `assets/`, and `references/`. The exclusion filter is broad and can suppress a real secret if the same line contains words such as `example`, `template`, or `TODO`. Finally, the script always prints `Secret scan complete`, even when enumeration or individual checks fail because `set +e` is enabled and most errors are suppressed. This can provide false assurance. The separate recommendation to use mode `600` for both directories and files is technically incorrect on conventional Unix systems: directories require the execute bit for traversal and should normally use mode `700` for owner-only ...[truncated 893 chars]
Remediation
<![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Replace `for f in $(ls ...)` with null-delimited recursive enumeration, for example: ```bash while IFS= read -r -d '' f; do # Scan "$f" done < <(find . -type f \ \( -name '*.md' -o -name '*.json' -o -name '*.yaml' \ -o -name '*.yml' -o -name '.env*' \) -print0) ``` 2. Add explicit exclusions for version-control metadata, approved build outputs, and credential files that must not be read, rather than limiting the scan to the top level. 3. Avoid suppressing enumeration failures; count scan errors and report the audit as incomplete. 4. Report the number of files scanned and list skipped files. 5. Replace broad line-based exclusions with precise placeholder-value detection. 6. Use directory mode `700` and credential-file mode `600`. 7. Add automated tests using filenames containing spaces, newlines, wildcard characters, and leading hyphens. ]]>

MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding
The declared description centers on enhancing AI agents into proactive collaborators with mechanisms like WAL Protocol, Working Buffer, autonomous cron behavior, and battle-tested patterns. The supplied code does not implement agent proactivity features. Instead, it is a standalone security audit script that inspects local files and configuration for security issues. This is a materially different primary purpose and includes undeclared capabilities involving filesystem inspection and security scanning.

Ssd 3

High
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
These instructions direct the agent to capture corrections, preferences, proper nouns, decisions, URLs, and later log every exchange after 60% context, creating broad natural-language retention of potentially sensitive data. Persistent, repeated logging increases exposure to accidental disclosure, unauthorized reuse, and prompt-injection-driven memory poisoning.

Vague Triggers

High
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The WAL trigger says to scan every message and, if any common detail appears, stop and write to SESSION-STATE.md before responding. Because corrections, names, decisions, URLs, and values appear in many conversations, this effectively creates an always-on write trigger that can be induced by adversarial or irrelevant content, causing excessive persistence of sensitive data.

Finding
The skill markets itself as 'proactive' and 'creates value without being asked,' which can cause an agent framework to activate unsolicited behaviors outside the user's immediate request. In an agent with tool, memory, or messaging capabilities, this increases the chance of unintended actions, surprise data processing, or confusing autonomous behavior.
