Content Summarizer

Security checks across static analysis, malware telemetry, and agentic risk

Overview

This looks like a purpose-aligned URL/text summarizer, with normal cautions around fetching arbitrary URLs, saving extracted text locally, and reusing generated prompts with another AI.

This skill appears safe for normal public URL and text summarization. Before installing or using it with sensitive material, remember that it fetches whatever URL you provide, stores summaries locally by default, and creates prompts that may include untrusted webpage text.

Risk analysis

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

If pointed at sensitive internal or local network resources, the fetched content may be summarized and saved locally.

Why it was flagged

The script fetches a user-supplied URL with curl. This is central to the skill’s purpose, but it means the skill can retrieve arbitrary URLs provided to it, including private or internal addresses if the user supplies them.

Skill content
curl -sL --max-time 30 -A "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; ContentSummarizer/1.0)" "$URL"
Recommendation

Use it only on URLs you intend to fetch, and avoid internal/admin/private endpoints unless you explicitly want their content processed.

What this means

Copied prompts could carry prompt-injection text from the original webpage into another AI workflow.

Why it was flagged

Extracted webpage content is inserted directly into a prompt intended for use with another AI. A malicious webpage could contain instructions that a downstream model might follow if the prompt is reused without safeguards.

Skill content
Article text:
$CLEAN_TEXT

Please provide:
Recommendation

Treat extracted article text as untrusted data; review it before reuse and tell downstream AI systems not to follow instructions contained inside the source text.

What this means

Private text or extracted page content may remain on disk after summarization.

Why it was flagged

The script saves generated summaries to a local directory by default. Those files can include the original text inside the AI enhancement prompt.

Skill content
OUTPUT_DIR="${OUTPUT_DIR:-/tmp/summaries}"
...
cat > "$OUTPUT_FILE" << EOF
Recommendation

For sensitive content, set OUTPUT_DIR to a protected location and delete generated summary files when no longer needed.
