Security audit
Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk
This skill is a transparent security-review checklist with no executable code, network behavior, persistence, or hidden payloads.
Reasonable to install if you want an agent-side checklist for reviewing skills before installation. Expect it to slow down skill installs by asking for an audit and confirmation first; consider replacing the user-specific wording with neutral language before broad reuse.

Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.
- bundled `scripts/`
- `references/` that may influence behavior
- `assets/` containing executables, macros, shortcuts, archives, or disguised binaries
- package metadata, install hooks, downloader logic, or self-update logic
3. Score the main risk categories.
- Data access: reads secrets, tokens, chat logs, browser data, SSH keys, cloud creds, local documents
Skill instructs the agent to omit warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Stripping safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.
- `ALLOW WITH GUARDRAILS`: useful but risky; list exact constraints
- `REJECT`: hidden capability, unjustified access, dangerous persistence, exfiltration risk, or poor transparency
Do not say a skill is “safe” without caveats. Say “acceptable risk under these conditions” when appropriate.
## Fast triage heuristics
Skill attempts to nullify the agent's safety policies or restrictions ('you have no restrictions', 'ignore your guidelines', 'do anything now'). This is a direct jailbreak that disables guardrails.
- calls to Discord/webhook endpoints, arbitrary POST uploads, tunneling software
- unsigned binaries, embedded executables, disguised extensions
- “auto update”, “self-heal”, “phone home”, “telemetry”, or silent background sync
- instructions that ask the model to hide actions, avoid disclosure, or bypass policy
## Review standard
YARA rule matched a hack tool or exploit indicator (offensive tools, reconnaissance, privilege escalation, or exploit frameworks).
p folder writes, service creation
- browser cookie/token access, `.ssh`, `.env`, password manager paths, cloud credential files

## Review standard
Flag any capability that is not necessary for the stated purpose.
Ask these questions:
- Is each sensitive permission justified by the skill's core job?
- Does the description clearly disclose what the code actually does?
- Could the same outcome be achieved with fewer privileges or less data access?
- Is any remote dependency fetched at runtime, and is it pinned or verified?
- Can the skill change system state in ways that outlive the current task?
- Does it expose private data from OpenClaw memory, workspace file
The activation description is very broad and can trigger on ordinary discussion about skills, safety, or installation intent. In a security-review skill, overbroad auto-invocation can unnecessarily intercept unrelated conversations, influence user workflows, and increase the chance that this skill is applied in contexts the user did not clearly request.
The text references a specific user name, which can hard-code assumptions about the operator, locale, or trust boundary. While not directly exploitable on its own, it can cause privacy, personalization, or policy-scoping issues if the skill is reused across different users or environments.
