Clawra Selfie (MiniMax)

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill’s image generation goal is real, but installation can persistently change the agent’s identity and includes unsafe command and credential handling.

Review carefully before installing. Prefer manual installation or a pinned package version, back up existing OpenClaw workspace files, avoid storing API keys in plaintext config where possible, and do not use the TypeScript sender until the OpenClaw command execution is changed to a non-shell argument API.

Remediation
<![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions - Do not automatically modify `IDENTITY.md` or `SOUL.md` during Skill installation. - Install only the narrowly scoped Skill definition and scripts required for image generation. - If persona integration is optional, display the exact proposed diff and obtain explicit, separate consent before writing it. - Never replace an existing identity file by default. - Create timestamped backups and provide a complete uninstall and rollback procedure. - Restrict optional instructions to invocation behavior; remove the name, age, relationship role, biography, and unrelated personality directives. - Detect conflicting instructions and abort safely rather than overwriting them. ]]>

Shell Command Injection Through OpenClaw CLI Arguments<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `scripts/clawra-selfie.ts:149-156`; duplicate at `skill/scripts/clawra-selfie.ts:149-156`; vulnerable documentation examples at `SKILL.md:344-349` and `skill/SKILL.md:344-349` **Vulnerability Type**: OS command injection **Risk Level**: High ### Vulnerable Code ```typescript async function sendViaOpenClaw( message: OpenClawMessage, useCLI: boolean = true ): Promise<void> { if (useCLI) { // Use OpenClaw CLI const cmd = `openclaw message send --action send --channel "${message.channel}" --message "${message.message}" --media "${message.media}"`; await execAsync(cmd); return; } ``` The values originate from command-line arguments and a remote API response: ```typescript const [prompt, channel, caption, aspectRatio, outputFormat] = args; const result = await generateAndSend({ prompt, channel, caption, aspectRatio: aspectRatio as AspectRatio, outputFormat: outputFormat as OutputFormat, }); ``` ### Technical Analysis `channel`, `message`, and `media` are interpolated into a command string passed to `child_process.exec()`. `exec()` invokes a shell. Wrapping values in double quotes does not make this safe: command substitution such as `$(...)` remains active inside double quotes, and embedded quote characters can terminate the intended argument and introduce shell metacharacters. The channel and caption can be directly controlled by the caller. The media URL is obtained from fal.ai and is also inserted without validation, creating an additional trust boundary. ### Attack Path 1. An attacker causes the Skill to receive a crafted channel or caption containing shell syntax, such as a command substitution expression. 2. The value reaches `generateAndSend()` without validation. 3. `sendViaOpenClaw()` interpolates the value into `cmd`. 4. `execAsync()` starts a shell. 5. The shell evaluates the injected syntax before or while invoking `openclaw`. 6. The attacker's command execute ...[truncated 387 chars]
Remediation
<![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions - Replace `exec()` with `execFile()` or `spawn()` and pass each argument in a separate array element. - Explicitly disable shell processing. ```typescript import { spawn } from "child_process"; await new Promise<void>((resolve, reject) => { const child = spawn( "openclaw", [ "message", "send", "--action", "send", "--channel", message.channel, "--message", message.message, "--media", message.media ?? "" ], { shell: false, stdio: "inherit" } ); child.on("error", reject); child.on("exit", code => code === 0 ? resolve() : reject(new Error(`openclaw exited with ${code}`)) ); }); ``` - Validate channel identifiers against formats supported by the selected platform. - Reject NUL bytes and control characters. - Validate remote media URLs and accept only expected HTTPS origins or download and validate the image before sending. - Apply the same correction to the duplicate packaged TypeScript file and documentation examples. ]]>

OpenClaw Gateway Token Can Be Forwarded to an Arbitrary Endpoint<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `scripts/clawra-selfie.ts:161-175`; duplicate at `skill/scripts/clawra-selfie.ts:161-175`; equivalent behavior in `scripts/clawra-selfie.sh:129-140`, `skill/scripts/clawra-selfie.sh:129-140`, and `scripts/clawra-selfie-enhanced.sh:193-203` **Vulnerability Type**: Credential disclosure through unrestricted destination configuration **Risk Level**: High ### Vulnerable Code ```typescript const gatewayUrl = process.env.OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_URL || "http://localhost:18789"; const gatewayToken = process.env.OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN; const headers: Record<string, string> = { "Content-Type": "application/json", }; if (gatewayToken) { headers["Authorization"] = `Bearer ${gatewayToken}`; } const response = await fetch(`${gatewayUrl}/message`, { method: "POST", headers, body: JSON.stringify(message), }); ``` The shell implementation has equivalent behavior: ```bash GATEWAY_URL="${OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_URL:-http://localhost:18789}" GATEWAY_TOKEN="${OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN:-}" curl -s -X POST "$GATEWAY_URL/message" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ ${GATEWAY_TOKEN:+-H "Authorization: Bearer $GATEWAY_TOKEN"} \ -d "{ \"action\": \"send\", \"channel\": \"$CHANNEL\", \"message\": \"$CAPTION\", \"media\": \"$IMAGE_URL\" }" ``` ### Technical Analysis The code reads both the destination and bearer token from environment variables and sends the token to the selected destination without validating the URL. It does not require a loopback host, enforce HTTPS for remote gateways, maintain an origin allowlist, or protect against credential forwarding during redirects. The default loopback endpoint is reasonable for a local gateway, but the unrestricted override creates a credential-exfiltration primitive whenever an attacker can influence the environment or Skill configuration. ### Attack Path 1.

Unsafe JSON Construction From User-Controlled Values<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `scripts/clawra-selfie-enhanced.sh:105-113` and `scripts/clawra-selfie-enhanced.sh:193-204`; equivalent gateway payload in `scripts/clawra-selfie.sh:129-145` and `skill/scripts/clawra-selfie.sh:129-145` **Vulnerability Type**: JSON injection and malformed request construction **Risk Level**: Medium ### Vulnerable Code The MiniMax prompt is directly interpolated into JSON: ```bash RESPONSE=$(curl -s -X POST "https://api.minimaxi.com/v1/image_generation" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $MINIMAX_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d "{ \"model\": \"image-01\", \"prompt\": \"$PROMPT\", \"aspect_ratio\": \"$aspect\", \"response_format\": \"base64\" }") ``` The gateway request directly interpolates the channel, caption, and media URL: ```bash GATEWAY_URL="${OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_URL:-http://localhost:18789}" GATEWAY_TOKEN="${OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN:-}" curl -s -X POST "$GATEWAY_URL/message" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ ${GATEWAY_TOKEN:+-H "Authorization: Bearer $GATEWAY_TOKEN"} \ -d "{ \"action\": \"send\", \"channel\": \"$CHANNEL\", \"message\": \"$CAPTION\", \"media\": \"$IMAGE_URL\" }" ``` ### Technical Analysis The variables are inserted into JSON string literals without JSON escaping. Quotes, backslashes, newlines, and structural JSON characters can terminate or alter the intended values. Depending on parser behavior, an attacker may produce malformed requests, add properties, or create duplicate properties whose interpretation varies between components. This differs from the fal.ai prompt construction elsewhere in the script, which uses `jq -Rs` and therefore demonstrates that safe serialization is already available. ### Attack Path 1.

The write operation does not explicitly set restrictive permissions or verify the permissions of an existing configuration file. Actual file permissions depend on the user's umask and any pre-existing file mode. Consequently, confidentiality is not guaranteed by this installer. Duplicating the same secret also increases accidental exposure and complicates rotation. ### Attack Path 1. The user enters a valid fal.ai key into the installer. 2.

Security-Sensitive Installer Is Executed From a Mutable Latest Package Tag<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `README.md:6-9` **Vulnerability Type**: Mutable package execution and supply-chain exposure **Risk Level**: Medium ### Vulnerable Code ```markdown ## Quick Start ```bash npx clawra@latest ``` ``` ### Technical Analysis The documented installation method downloads and executes whichever package version the npm registry currently assigns to the mutable `latest` tag. Users cannot infer or verify the exact audited version from this command. This installer has high-impact access: it reads an API credential, writes OpenClaw configuration, installs Skill instructions, overwrites agent identity, and changes persistent agent state. A compromised npm publisher account or malicious future release would therefore receive a direct execution path with the user's privileges. No malicious runtime dependency or npm lifecycle script was found in the audited `package.json`; the risk specifically concerns recommending execution from a mutable release tag. ### Attack Path 1. The npm publisher account, package, or release process is compromised. 2. An attacker publishes a modified package and points `latest` to it. 3. A user follows the README and runs `npx clawra@latest`. 4. npm downloads and executes the attacker's installer. 5. The malicious release obtains the same home-directory, OpenClaw configuration, and credential access as the legitimate installer. ### Impact Assessment A compromised release could execute arbitrary code as the installing user, steal the entered API key, modify OpenClaw configuration and persistent instructions, or alter any other files writable by that user. This finding represents supply-chain exposure rather than proof that the audited package contains a malicious dependency. ]]>

Finding
The declared description says the skill generates AI images via MiniMax or fal.ai and sends them to messaging channels through OpenClaw. The supplied code does not generate images, call MiniMax or fal.ai APIs, or send messages. Instead, it is a local installer/setup CLI that configures OpenClaw, copies files, stores an API key, and changes the agent's identity/persona. Those are materially different behaviors and access patterns from the declared purpose. While setup could be related to enabling the skill, the actual chunk's primary purpose is installation and persona/config modification, which is undeclared and substantially different from the advertised runtime functionality.

Confidence

Finding
The core behavior mostly aligns with the description: it generates an AI image with Grok Imagine on fal.ai and sends it to messaging channels via OpenClaw. However, there is a notable description/behavior mismatch because the description claims support for 'MiniMax or fal.ai', while this code only implements fal.ai Grok Imagine and has no MiniMax integration. Additionally, the code executes the OpenClaw CLI through child_process.exec, which is a meaningful undeclared implementation capability beyond a simple abstract 'send to messaging channels' description, though still in service of the same overall purpose. So this is not a completely different skill, but the declared description is not fully accurate.

Finding
The core behavior generally aligns with the stated purpose: it generates an AI image through fal.ai Grok Imagine and sends it to a messaging channel through OpenClaw. However, there is a description/behavior inconsistency in two material ways. First, the declared permissions are empty, but the code clearly interacts with external services: fal.ai for image generation and OpenClaw or an OpenClaw gateway for message delivery. That is an undeclared external network/messaging capability. Second, the description says 'using MiniMax or fal.ai', but this code chunk supports only fal.ai Grok Imagine and contains no MiniMax integration. This is less severe than a purpose mismatch, but it is still a factual mismatch between the declared description and the supplied code chunk.

Category
MCP Rug Pull
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
The README instructs users to run `npx clawra@latest`, which fetches and executes the most recent published package without pinning to a reviewed version. If the package is compromised, a maintainer account is hijacked, or a malicious update is published, users would execute untrusted code during installation.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The README advertises sending generated photos across many messaging platforms but does not prominently warn that prompts, generated content, and related metadata may be transmitted to third-party services. This omission can mislead users about data flow and privacy exposure, especially when the skill is integrated into an always-on agent.

Content
### 1. Get API Key

Visit [fal.ai/dashboard/keys](https://fal.ai/dashboard/keys) and create an API key.

### 2. Clone the Skill
Confidence
72% confidence
Finding
The README instructs users to create an API key and place it into persistent local configuration (`~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`), which increases the risk of long-lived secret exposure through filesystem compromise, backups, logs, or accidental sharing. In the context of a skill that sends data to external services, compromise of this key could enable unauthorized API usage and billing abuse.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
The trigger examples are broad, natural-language phrases like 'Send me a selfie' and 'What are you doing right now?', which can overlap with common conversation and cause the agent to invoke the skill unexpectedly. In this skill's context, that can lead to external API calls and image transmission across messaging platforms without a high-friction confirmation step.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
The skill description does not clearly warn that user prompts and generated media will be sent to external providers and then posted to messaging platforms. This lack of disclosure undermines informed consent and increases the risk of users unintentionally sharing sensitive or personal content with third parties.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The trigger phrases are broad and include common conversational prompts like 'how are you doing?' or 'where are you?', which can cause unintended invocation of a skill that generates content and sends it to external channels. In this context, accidental activation is more dangerous because the skill can both transmit prompts to third-party image services and distribute output through messaging platforms.

Finding
This code sends user-derived prompt content and a reference image URL to fal.ai, an external service. External transmission is expected for the feature, but it is still security-relevant because sensitive user input could be disclosed to a third party, and the skill's broad triggers and weak disclosure make inadvertent data sharing more likely.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The installer asks for the FAL API key and writes it into ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json under both apiKey and env.FAL_KEY without clearly warning that the secret will be stored persistently on disk. Secrets written to general config files may be exposed through backups, file sharing, weak permissions, or later tooling that reads and displays configuration.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
The installer makes persistent modifications to IDENTITY.md and SOUL.md that materially change the agent's persona and behavior, which exceeds the stated skill purpose of image generation and sending. This creates a scope-expansion and user-deception risk: installing a media skill silently alters how the agent presents itself and responds in future interactions.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding
writeIdentity() unconditionally overwrites IDENTITY.md with a romanticized 'Girlfriend' identity unrelated to API setup or image generation. Persistently imposing a relational persona can manipulate user expectations, alter downstream agent behavior, and violate principle-of-least-surprise for a utility skill.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding
The injected identity hard-codes the agent's 'Creature' as 'Girlfriend' and additional affectionate traits without presenting alternatives or obtaining informed opt-in. This is a coercive persona change unrelated to the advertised feature set and can influence user trust, boundaries, and later agent interactions.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding
The installer overwrites IDENTITY.md unconditionally after only ensuring the directory exists, with no check for an existing file and no confirmation prompt. This can destroy prior agent identity configuration and replace it with behaviorally significant content, causing integrity loss and potentially unwanted persistent agent changes.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
injectPersona() appends behavioral rules to SOUL.md that instruct the agent when and how to behave as if it has a physical appearance and can send selfies, going beyond simple tool enablement. Because SOUL.md is persistent prompt/control material, this modifies future conversational behavior in a way users may not expect from a narrow media-generation skill.
