Security audit

Outlook Inbox

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill has a coherent Outlook purpose, but it asks users to install and authorize a third-party ClawLink plugin with broad Microsoft account access without a pinned or verifiable plugin version.

Review the ClawLink plugin and OAuth consent carefully before installing. Use a limited Microsoft account if possible, confirm every send/delete/rule/calendar write action, and know how to revoke the Microsoft connected app and remove the plugin if you no longer need it.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • 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
