Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a coherent productivity timer skill that discloses local task-history storage and shows no hidden execution, exfiltration, or privilege behavior in the inspected artifacts.

Before installing, be aware that use of the tool is intended to create local task and timer history plus configuration files under ~/.openclaw/data/time-management/. Also verify the actual time-management executable is present from the publisher, since it was not included in this inspected artifact.

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
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • 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
Findings (2)

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The natural-language documentation is entirely in Chinese, including headings, feature descriptions, and usage guidance, with no indication that users may choose another language. This can violate a language/locale policy when a skill imposes one language without opt-in or an explicitly documented regional justification.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding
This markdown file documents commands for task tracking, reporting, and configuration changes, and only later notes that data is stored under `~/.openclaw/data/time-management/`. It does not clearly warn users up front that using the skill will create and update a local SQLite database and config file containing activity history.
