Echo - OpenClaw Perplexity Ultimate Async Deep Researcher

• Outcome: Pass
• Latest audit: May 28, 2026 at 11:17 AM UTC

  1.0.0

Overview

This skill appears to be a Perplexity research helper with expected API use, but it may automatically install an unpinned Python dependency at runtime.

Install only if you are comfortable with your agent contacting Perplexity and possibly running pip to install an unpinned third-party Python package. Prefer reviewing the SKILL.md first, preinstalling or pinning the dependency yourself, and avoiding sensitive queries unless you intend to share them with the Perplexity API.

Vulnerability Patterns

• Data Exfiltration: External Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
• Excessive Agency: Unrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
• Prompt Injection: Instruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
• Privilege Escalation: Excessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
• Supply Chain: Unpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Findings (2)

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium

• Confidence: 93% confidence
• Finding: The skill instructs the agent to install a Python package at runtime, which changes the execution environment and introduces unpinned third-party code during normal use. This is dangerous because it expands the attack surface to package-supply-chain compromise and unexpected code execution beyond the declared research task.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 90% confidence
• Finding: The skill requires code execution that both installs software and sends queries to an external API, but it does not surface those actions to the user before they occur. That lack of transparency can cause unintended data disclosure and environment modification without informed consent.
