Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed public social-listening helper that installs and pairs a ClawLink plugin, then uses paid read-only public data tools.

Before installing, confirm you are comfortable pairing with ClawLink, spending ClawLink credit per call, and sending brand or topic search queries through its public-data tools. Avoid using it for private accounts or sensitive non-public investigations.

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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access

Finding

The manifest and documentation frame this skill as a read-only brand-monitoring tool for public social data. Line L166 instructs use of clawlink_report_issue, which contacts the ClawLink team and submits a report rather than retrieving social-listening data, adding an operational support capability not justified by the stated purpose.
