Jobautopilot Search

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This job-search skill does what it says: it reads a configured resume folder, searches job sites, and keeps local tracker files, with persistence worth noticing but no hidden or destructive behavior found.

Before installing, make RESUME_DIR a dedicated folder containing only resumes you want the agent to inspect. Review and periodically delete or redact the tracker and handoff files if job-search history, salary targets, or contact notes are sensitive on your machine.

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

Finding

The skill writes search results and session history to persistent local files, including tracker and handoff notes, but the description does not clearly warn the user that this data will be stored across sessions. Persistent logging of job-search activity, URLs, notes, and possibly inferred candidate preferences can expose sensitive career intentions or personal information to other local users, later tools, or accidental reuse.

Session Persistence

Medium
Category
Rogue Agent
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The skill establishes persistent workspace files for a tracker and handoff log, enabling cross-session state retention. While persistence is part of the intended workflow, it increases risk because sensitive search history, candidate profiling information, and operational context can accumulate over time without access control, retention limits, or user-facing warnings.

Initialize the tracker if it does not exist yet:

bash
mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/workspace/job_search
touch ~/.openclaw/workspace/job_search/job_application_tracker.md
touch ~/.openclaw/workspace/job_search/SEARCH_AGENT_HANDOFF.md

Missing User Warnings

Category

Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill explicitly instructs the agent to scan all files in the user's resume directory and extract sensitive professional and personal data, but it provides no privacy notice, minimization guidance, or retention limits. Because resumes commonly contain names, contact details, employment history, and other sensitive data, broad ingestion without disclosure or controls creates an avoidable privacy risk and expands the amount of user data processed in each session.
