Security audit

IFTTT

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill coherently connects OpenClaw to IFTTT and includes user-confirmation guardrails for real-world actions, though users should notice that IFTTT automations can affect connected services.

Install this only if you intend to use IFTTT with OpenClaw. Review any OAuth and service-connection prompts carefully, and confirm that proposed Applets, removals, or one-off actions match what you want because they can send messages, change devices, or update connected services.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Vague Triggers

Confidence

Finding

The skill description says to use it when the user asks what they can automate or describes an automation like 'when X happens, do Y,' which is broad enough to match many generic requests. That can cause unintended invocation of a high-impact integration skill that can create Applets or run actions against external services, increasing the chance of unnecessary OAuth prompts, over-collection of context, or accidental side-effectful operations if later steps are not carefully confirmed.

Vague Triggers

Finding

The 'When to use' section includes the ambiguous condition 'The user describes an automation: when X happens, do Y,' which may over-trigger this skill for routine natural-language requests unrelated to IFTTT. In this context, overbroad routing is more dangerous because the skill exposes capabilities with real-world side effects, including creating enabled Applets immediately and running one-off actions against connected services.
