Claw Chat

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple Claw Chat assistance skill with no executable code, though its trigger wording is broader than ideal.

Installers should understand that this skill may be invoked for general chat-assistance phrases, so it is best used when Claw Chat context is intended; no evidence shows code execution, data exfiltration, credential use, or destructive behavior.

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

Finding

The manifest description uses broad trigger phrases such as 'chat assistant', 'message summary', 'smart reply', and 'AI messaging', which are generic enough to match many ordinary user requests outside the Claw Chat product context. This can cause the skill to activate when the user did not intend to use Claw Chat, leading to misrouting, over-collection of conversational context, or unintended actions in the wrong workflow.
