Work Journal

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This work-journal skill is coherent and purpose-aligned, but users should understand it saves work notes locally and has unclear wording around possible LLM processing.

Install only if you are comfortable with work notes being saved under ~/.openclaw/data/work-journal. Avoid pasting passwords, API keys, customer secrets, or highly confidential business details until the publisher clarifies whether LLM processing is local or remote and adds stronger redaction or opt-in controls.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The skill advertises local processing but its documented architecture includes an LLM wrapper and static analysis detected network capability, while no permissions are declared. Undeclared file read, file write, and network access weakens user consent and sandboxing expectations, and could expose sensitive work notes, reports, or history if the implementation sends data externally or reads more than intended.

MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The documented behavior goes beyond simple report transformation by persisting reports locally, reading history, and generating summaries from previously saved files, but this broader data-handling is not reflected in the declared purpose. That mismatch can mislead users about retention and access patterns for potentially sensitive workplace data, increasing privacy and confidentiality risk.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The HTML wrapper interpolates both title and body directly into an HTML document without any escaping or sanitization. If either value can contain user-controlled content, this enables HTML/script injection in generated reports, which can lead to stored or reflected XSS when the report is viewed in a browser.
