Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a mostly coherent guide generator, but it tells agents to run user-supplied external skills without clear approval or sandboxing requirements.

Install only if you are comfortable with a skill that may inspect local skill files and remote skill repositories. Do not let it run an unfamiliar ClawHub or GitHub skill unless you explicitly approve the exact source and revision and use a disposable, credential-free sandbox.

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

Untrusted Skill Execution Without Safety Controls

Actual execution is not required to produce the skill usage documentation that this project is intended to generate. More importantly, the workflow does not establish mandatory security controls before executing an external skill. It does not require: - Explicit user authorization for code execution. - Verification of repository ownership or source trust. - Pinning an immutable commit or release. - Review of installation hooks, package scripts, transitive dependencies, and executable files. - Isolation in a disposable sandbox or container. - Removal of credentials and sensitive environment variables. - Filesystem and network restrictions. - Resource limits or post-execution cleanup. Consequently, a malicious or compromised target repository could cause attacker-controlled installation hooks or runtime code to execute with the permissions available to the agent. The issue is classified as insecure skill design rather than confirmed embedded malicious code because this project contains no malicious script of its own; the risk arises from its unsafe instructions for testing third-party skills. ### Attack Path 1. An attacker publishes a malicious skill through a ClawHub entry or GitHub repository. 2. The attacker persuades a user to reques ...[truncated 1536 chars]

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The trigger list includes generic phrases such as 'skill guide', 'skill manual', 'skill usage', and '如何使用skill', which are broad enough to match ordinary user requests and unintentionally invoke this skill. That can cause prompt-routing confusion, unexpected file/URL processing, or disclosure of local skill documentation when a user did not explicitly intend to run this capability.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

The section labeled "语言铁律" mandates a specific presentation style and wording approach for all outputs, without indicating that the user may choose another language or communication style. This can violate language/locale policy expectations when users prefer a different language or format.
