TinkerClaw WordPress

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed WordPress management tool with strong consent gates for publishing and administration, but it still gives an agent powerful access to your site when configured.

Install only if you are comfortable giving the agent a WordPress Application Password for the chosen account. Use the least-privileged WordPress user you can, set WP_ALLOWED_HOSTS, keep WP_READONLY=1 when browsing only, and treat WP_ALLOW_ADMIN=1 as approval for site-level changes including plugin code execution.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • 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
