Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

Price Hawk is a disclosed price-comparison skill that uses ClawLink to read public shopping data, with no evidence of hidden mutation, exfiltration, or destructive behavior.

Before installing, understand that this skill requires the ClawLink plugin, a one-time pairing flow, network calls to ClawLink, and paid marketplace-data lookups from ClawLink credit. It should be used for public product research only, not private shopping accounts or actions that modify data.

A.I.G

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

Finding

The manifest and surrounding documentation frame this skill as a read-only product price comparison tool for Amazon, Walmart, and eBay. Line L178 instructs use of clawlink_report_issue, which sends a report to the ClawLink team; that support/escalation capability is not part of the user-facing price-comparison purpose and is not justified by the stated scope.
