Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a disclosed student housing search and alert helper, with the main caution that optional monitoring and notifications may share room-search details with external services.

Before installing or using it, confirm that you trust the separate student_rooms CLI it invokes, use stdout notifications for the most private mode, and enable webhook, Telegram, OpenClaw agent mode, watch mode, or cron-job assistance only when you intentionally want ongoing external alerts or follow-up automation.

A.I.G

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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The skill description is broadly scoped to common housing-related intents such as student housing, booking options, and price comparisons, without clear guardrails on when the skill should or should not activate. In an agent environment, this can cause over-triggering and unintended delegation, which may lead to unnecessary external queries, monitoring actions, or notification flows being invoked for loosely related user requests.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The documentation advertises webhook and Telegram notification backends but does not warn that room search results, booking links, location preferences, or other user-related context may be transmitted to third-party services. This creates a data exfiltration and privacy risk, especially because the skill also supports continuous watch mode and automated alerts, which can send ongoing updates externally without an explicit user-facing caution.
