ClawdVine

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is purpose-aligned for paid AI video generation, but it gives helper scripts wallet-signing authority with insufficient local limits around payments and authentication signatures.

Review this before installing if you plan to use a funded wallet. Use a dedicated low-balance wallet, confirm payment terms immediately before generation, avoid exposing EVM_PRIVATE_KEY to autonomous or logged environments, and treat SIWE header output as a temporary credential. The skill is not shown to be malicious, but its wallet-signing helpers deserve careful manual control.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • 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

When the ClawdVine API returns an HTTP `402 Payment Required` response, the wrapper can process the remotely supplied payment requirements, sign the corresponding authorization, and retry the request automatically. The script does not independently enforce any of the following before signing: - A maximum amount previously approved by the user - Base mainnet as the expected chain - The expected USDC token contract - The expected payment receiver - The expected resource URL - Payment expiration or validity limits - Equality between the signed terms and a previously displayed pre-flight quote This conflicts with the pre-flight ...[truncated 2111 chars]

Known Vulnerable Dependency: ws==8.18.3 — 2 advisory(ies): CVE-2026-45736 (ws: Uninitialized memory disclosure); CVE-2026-48779 (ws: Memory exhaustion DoS from tiny fragments and data chunks)

Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The lockfile pins ws version 8.18.3, which the provided advisory data identifies as affected by an uninitialized memory disclosure and a memory-exhaustion denial-of-service issue. Even though this is a dependency entry rather than executable code, shipping a known-vulnerable websocket library is a real supply-chain risk if any reachable code path uses it for network communication.

Known Vulnerable Dependency: ws==8.17.1 — 2 advisory(ies): CVE-2026-45736 (ws: Uninitialized memory disclosure); CVE-2026-48779 (ws: Memory exhaustion DoS from tiny fragments and data chunks)

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The lockfile also includes ws version 8.17.1 through a separate dependency path, and the supplied advisories indicate it is vulnerable to the same memory disclosure and DoS issues. Multiple vulnerable copies increase attack surface because either dependency path may be invoked by the skill or its transitive packages during websocket handling.

Undeclared Tool Scope

Medium
Category
MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill advertises substantial network and environment-dependent behavior, including payment signing via private keys and numerous external API calls, but declares no explicit tool scope or permissions. This creates a capability-transparency gap: an agent or operator may grant broader execution than expected, increasing the risk of unintended secret access or network actions.
