Kokochat Pairing

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a KokoChat pairing helper that uses OpenClaw's official pairing flow and a relay tunnel, with some operational side effects users should understand before running it.

Install only if you are comfortable letting this skill create KokoChat relay state, run `openclaw qr`, connect your gateway to the configured relay, and manage KokoChat relay connector processes. After pairing, inspect `openclaw devices list` and revoke the phone if its identity or scopes do not match what you intended to grant.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The skill advertises generating a pairing/setup code, but it also performs host-side process orchestration: stopping other relay connectors, spawning detached processes, killing PIDs, and restarting a systemd unit. Even if intended to keep the relay available during pairing, these side effects exceed the stated purpose and create unnecessary operational control over the host.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
This code has broad host-level control by invoking systemctl, pgrep, process.kill, and spawning detached connector processes. In an agent skill context, that capability is dangerous because a user asking for a pairing code would indirectly grant the skill power to disrupt local services or terminate unrelated matching processes if assumptions fail.
