Straker Verify

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward translation-service integration, but users should understand that translated text or files are sent to Straker's external API.

Install this if you are comfortable using Straker as an external translation provider. Do not submit secrets, regulated data, or confidential documents unless your organization has approved Straker's privacy, retention, and human-review terms.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The README instructs users to configure an API key and use a third-party translation service, but it does not clearly warn that submitted text may be transmitted to an external provider. In a translation skill, users may paste sensitive source material, so the omission can lead to unintended data disclosure and compliance/privacy issues rather than direct code execution.

Skill Enumeration

Medium
Category
Agent Snooping
Content
clawhub install straker-verify
```

Or manually copy `SKILL.md` to your OpenClaw workspace: `~/clawd/skills/straker-verify/SKILL.md`

## Configuration
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding
Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Content
All requests (except `/languages`) require Bearer token authentication:

```bash
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $STRAKER_VERIFY_API_KEY" https://api-verify.straker.ai/endpoint
```

Finding
Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.
