ClawHub Publisher Stats

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a coherent public ClawHub statistics fetcher, with limited caution needed for live network requests and Markdown report rendering.

Install only if you are comfortable with the skill making live requests to public ClawHub-related sites. Prefer JSON output for automated reuse, and avoid passing unusually large --limit or --workers values.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • 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

Undeclared Tool Scope

Medium
Category
MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs the agent to run a bundled Python script that fetches live data from public pages, which implies network access, but the manifest does not declare any tool scope or allowed-tools restrictions. This creates a least-privilege and governance gap: an agent may execute network-capable code without explicit authorization boundaries, making misuse or unexpected external access harder to audit and control.
