Cycling Tracker

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple cycling-tracker skill with disclosed CLI examples and no artifact-backed evidence of hidden, destructive, or credential-seeking behavior.

Before installing, consider pinning the ClawHub installer to a reviewed version instead of using `@latest`, and verify why the package declares a `curl` requirement. The skill itself appears limited to cycling-tracking commands and does not request credentials or persistent system access.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • 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

Finding

The install command uses npx clawhub@latest, which fetches and executes the latest published package version at install time rather than a pinned, reviewed release. This creates a supply-chain risk: if the package or one of its distribution paths is compromised later, users following the README could run attacker-controlled code.

Confidence

Finding

The manifest description and introductory text present the skill in Chinese only, which can amount to a language policy violation when no user opt-in or alternative language option is provided. Nothing in the file indicates that this skill is intended only for a Chinese-speaking or region-specific audience.

Confidence

Finding

The skill description is presented in Chinese at L03, and the rest of the README headings and content continue in Chinese without indicating any language choice or user opt-in. This can violate a language/locale policy when users are not given an explicit option to use another language.
