Security audit

OpenClaw Browser

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a browser-automation guide that is purpose-aligned and disclosed, with ordinary caution needed around using a live signed-in browser profile.

Install this only if you want agents to control websites through OpenClaw's managed browser. Prefer isolated profiles for routine work, and use the `user` profile only when you intentionally need your real signed-in browser session and are ready to approve any live-account actions.

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

Finding

The skill explicitly permits use of the user browser profile for tasks requiring the user's signed-in session, but it does not present a clear, prominent warning that actions in that profile can affect the user's real accounts, data, purchases, messages, and settings. Because this skill is designed for real browser interaction and form submission, the absence of an explicit user-facing caution increases the chance of unintended sensitive actions in a live session.
