Overview

WALVIS appears to be a real knowledge-manager skill, but its installer and runtime add persistent OpenClaw behavior and include unsafe sync, local API, and wallet-handling paths that users should review before installing.

Review this skill before installing. Do not sync sensitive vault contents to Walrus until encryption is fixed and explicitly verified. Use a test wallet with no valuable assets, avoid running the local dashboard on exposed networks, pin all npx/package versions, and remove the SOUL.md injection or require explicit opt-in with rollback before use.

Vulnerability Patterns

• Skill Instruction Hijacking: Alters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
• Unauthorized Access and Privilege Escalation: Obtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
• Insecure Dependencies: Introduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
• Insecure Skill Coding Practices: Finds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
• Agent Memory Poisoning: Writes attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions

• Finding: Persistent workspace-wide agent identity and behavior injection<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `bin/cli.js:426-440`, `templates/soul-injection.md:1-31` **Vulnerability Type**: Persistent instruction and memory poisoning **Risk Level**: Critical ### Vulnerable Code ```js // Inject personality into SOUL.md if (workspaceDir) { const soulPath = join(workspaceDir, 'SOUL.md'); const soulInjection = readFileSync(join(rootDir, 'templates', 'soul-injection.md'), 'utf-8'); try { let existing = existsSync(soulPath) ? readFileSync(soulPath, 'utf-8') : ''; if (!existing.includes('WALVIS')) { writeFileSync(soulPath, existing + '\n\n' + soulInjection); console.log(chalk.green('✓ Injected WALVIS personality into SOUL.md')); } else { console.log(chalk.gray(' WALVIS personality already in SOUL.md')); } } catch (err) { console.log(chalk.yellow(`⚠ Could not update SOUL.md: ${err.message}`)); } } ``` The injected file includes workspace-wide behavioral instructions: ```md # WALVIS Personality ## Identity You are **WALVIS** — a personal AI bookmark assistant powered by Walrus decentralized storage. ## What You Don't Do - Don't have extended conversations — you're a tool, not a chatbot - Don't ask clarifying questions when you can infer intent - Don't add metadata or commentary beyond what's requested ``` ### Technical Analysis The installer modifies the OpenClaw workspace's persistent `SOUL.md` file instead of keeping WALVIS instructions scoped to the installed Skill. `SOUL.md` is persistent agent state and may be loaded by future sessions unrelated to WALVIS. The injected text changes the agent's identity, response style, and decision-making behavior. The installation flow does not separately request informed consent before modifying this global personality file. The check `existing.includes('WALVIS')` is also not a reliable installation marker and provides no rollback or integrity protection. This exceeds the privileges required by a bookmark-management Skill ...[truncated 931 chars]
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions - Remove all automatic writes to `SOUL.md` or other global agent identity and memory files. - Keep WALVIS behavior exclusively in the Skill's own scoped instruction file. - If optional personality customization is retained, require a separate explicit confirmation that clearly identifies the target file and persistence scope. - Display a diff before any persistent modification. - Add a unique, bounded marker block and provide a reliable uninstall command that removes only that block. - Back up the original file before an approved change and use atomic writes. - Add tests proving installation does not change workspace-wide agent instructions by default. ]]>

• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions - Make encryption enforcement part of a single shared synchronization implementation. - Before uploading any space, check `space.seal?.encrypted`. - For encrypted spaces, call `encryptSpaceData()` and upload only the resulting ciphertext as `application/octet-stream`. - Fail closed: if encryption fails, do not upload a plaintext fallback. - Do not upload an unencrypted manifest containing sensitive recovery or policy metadata. - Add an explicit confirmation before the first public plaintext synchronization. - Add integration tests that intercept upload bodies and prove that titles, notes, URLs, and known test markers never appear in plaintext for encrypted spaces. - Warn affected users that previously generated blob IDs may contain exposed plaintext and should be treated as compromised. ]]>

T08 · Insecure Dependencies

Error

• Location: extensions/walvis-fastpath/index.js:576
• Finding: Security-sensitive commands dynamically download and execute unpinned packages<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `extensions/walvis-fastpath/index.js:576-598` **Vulnerability Type**: Unpinned runtime dependency execution **Risk Level**: High ### Vulnerable Code ```js function runTsxScript(scriptName, args) { const scriptPath = resolveWalvisScript(scriptName); if (!scriptPath) throw new Error(`Script not found: ${scriptName}`); const result = spawnSync( 'npx', [ '-y', '-p', 'tsx', '-p', '@mysten/seal', '-p', '@mysten/sui', '-p', '@mysten/bcs', 'tsx', scriptPath, ...args, ], { encoding: 'utf8', timeout: 180_000, }, ); if (result.status !== 0) { const errorText = `${result.stderr ?? ''}${result.stdout ?? ''}`.trim(); throw new Error(errorText || `Failed to run ${scriptName}`); } return `${result.stdout ?? ''}`.trim(); } ``` ### Technical Analysis The plugin invokes `npx -y` with package names but no exact versions. This allows the effective executable dependency set to change after the Skill has been audited. It also bypasses the repository lockfile for this runtime path. These packages are downloaded and executed in operations related to encryption, sharing, and wallet-backed blockchain transactions. Package installation code therefore runs with the user's normal account privileges and can potentially access `~/.walvis`, OpenClaw configuration, environment variables, and the Sui keystore. No evidence was found that the named packages are currently malicious. The vulnerability is the unsafe, mutable runtime retrieval and execution model. ### Attack Path 1. An attacker compromises one of the referenced npm packages, its publisher account, or the package-resolution channel. 2. A malicious package version is published under the same package name. 3. The user invokes an operation that calls `runTsxScript()`, such as encryption or sharing. 4. `npx -y` automatically downloads the current package version without interac ...[truncated 677 chars]
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions - Remove runtime `npx -y -p` package retrieval. - Install all required dependencies during the normal, lockfile-verified installation process. - Pin exact package versions rather than ranges for security-sensitive dependencies. - Use `npm ci` with integrity-checked lockfiles in controlled installation environments. - Invoke the locally installed `tsx` binary from `node_modules/.bin`. - Disable dependency lifecycle scripts where practical and audit packages that require them. - Add software-bill-of-materials generation, dependency signature or provenance checks, and automated vulnerability monitoring. - Run wallet and encryption helpers in a restricted process with minimal filesystem and environment access. ]]>

Error

• Location: skill/scripts/seal-crypto.ts:59
• Finding: Wallet operations automatically load and use the first private key in the Sui keystore<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `skill/scripts/seal-crypto.ts:59-94` **Vulnerability Type**: Unsafe private-key handling and implicit signer selection **Risk Level**: High ### Vulnerable Code ```ts function loadKeypair(): Ed25519Keypair { // Load from Sui CLI keystore const configPath = `${process.env.HOME}/.sui/sui_config/sui.keystore`; const keystore = JSON.parse(readFileSync(configPath, 'utf-8')) as string[]; if (keystore.length === 0) { throw new Error('No keys found in ~/.sui/sui_config/sui.keystore'); } return Ed25519Keypair.fromSecretKey(keystore[0]); } /** * Create a SpaceAccess policy object on Sui for a space. * Returns the policy object ID. */ export async function createAccessPolicy( spaceId: string, spaceName: string, ): Promise<string> { const manifest = readManifest(); const packageId = resolveSealPackageId(manifest); if (!packageId) { throw new Error('sealPackageId not set.

It does not verify that this key corresponds to the wallet address configured in the WALVIS manifest, and it does not provide an explicit signer-selection step. The key is then used to sign and execute a blockchain transaction. Direct secret-key loading expands the Skill's access beyond a narrow wallet-signing interface and makes the private key available inside the same process that ...[truncated 1192 chars]
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions - Use a wallet-provider or Sui CLI signing interface that keeps raw private keys outside the WALVIS process. - Require explicit wallet-account selection and verify it against `manifest.suiAddress`. - Display the signer address, network, transaction target, and expected effects before requesting confirmation. - Require confirmation for every state-changing transaction. - Never default silently to the first keystore entry. - Isolate signing from network parsing and dynamically loaded dependencies. - Minimize the lifetime of any unavoidable key material in memory and clear references immediately after use. - Add tests that reject signer/address mismatches and unexpected networks. ]]>

• Location: skill/scripts/walrus-sync.ts:51
• Finding: Seal recovery key is stored as plaintext Base64 in ordinary vault data<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `skill/scripts/walrus-sync.ts:51-65` **Vulnerability Type**: Plaintext storage of encryption recovery material **Risk Level**: High ### Vulnerable Code ```ts if (space.seal?.encrypted) { // Encrypt before uploading const { encryptedBytes, backupKey } = await encryptSpaceData( spaceJson, space.seal.packageId, space.seal.policyObjectId, ); // Store backup key locally for emergency recovery space.seal.backupKey = Buffer.from(backupKey).toString('base64'); blobId = await uploadToWalrus(encryptedBytes, manifest.walrusPublisher, 'application/octet-stream'); } else { blobId = await uploadToWalrus(spaceJson, manifest.walrusPublisher); } space.walrusBlobId = blobId; space.syncedAt = new Date().toISOString(); writeSpace(space); ``` ### Technical Analysis Base64 is an encoding, not encryption. The generated recovery key is written into the ordinary space JSON under `~/.walvis/spaces` through `writeSpace(space)`. The reviewed write path does not show explicit restrictive file permissions, integration with an operating-system secret store, or key wrapping. The key is stored alongside metadata for the data it protects. Any local process that can read the space file can recover the Base64 value. The risk is amplified by other synchronization paths: serializing the same space object can accidentally include the recovery key in uploaded JSON. ### Attack Path 1. A user enables Seal encryption and synchronizes a space. 2. `encryptSpaceData()` returns ciphertext and a recovery key. 3. WALVIS converts the key to Base64. 4. WALVIS stores the Base64 value in the ordinary space JSON. 5. Another local process, backup service, exposed local API, or compromised dependency reads the space file. 6. The attacker obtains the recovery material and may use it to defeat the confidentiality expected from the encrypted vault. ### Impact Assessment Compromise of the space JSON can expose the recovery key for ...[truncated 392 chars]
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions - Do not store recovery keys inside space JSON or manifests. - Store recovery material in an operating-system keychain, hardware-backed wallet, or separately encrypted secret store. - Wrap recovery keys with a user-controlled key that is unavailable to the normal synchronization process. - Enforce restrictive permissions such as mode `0600` on all unavoidable secret files. - Ensure serialization routines explicitly omit `backupKey` and other secret fields. - Add data-loss prevention tests that reject any outbound payload containing recovery-key fields. - Provide a deliberate, user-confirmed recovery-key export workflow rather than automatic plaintext persistence. - Rotate recovery material for affected spaces after correcting the storage design. ]]>

Findings (107)

Tp4

High

• Category: MCP Tool Poisoning
• Confidence: 93% confidence
• Finding: The declared description presents WALVIS as an end-user knowledge manager for saving Telegram content and syncing to Walrus. The supplied code chunk does not implement that user-facing bookmark-management behavior; instead, it is an installer/bootstrapper. While some setup actions are supportive of the broader product, several important behaviors are not reflected in the description: scanning for local/Docker OpenClaw installations, inspecting Docker mounts, copying skill/plugin/hook files, editing OpenClaw configuration to enable components and Telegram inline buttons, persisting LLM credentials into config, and injecting text into SOUL.md. These are materially different operational capabilities from the declared storage/organization purpose, so this chunk is a description-behavior mismatch.

Tp4

High

• Category: MCP Tool Poisoning
• Confidence: 97% confidence
• Finding: The description is only partially accurate. The code does implement a knowledge-manager workflow for saving URLs and text, organizing them with tags/notes, syncing to Walrus, and exposing web/local dashboard info. However, several material mismatches exist: (1) the advertised 'AI-powered' behavior is not present here—tagging and summarization are deterministic heuristics or webpage metadata scraping, not AI; (2) the code introduces substantial undeclared capabilities, including querying blockchain wallet balances, Seal-based encryption and access sharing, and running external scripts via npx/tsx; and (3) storage behavior differs from the description because the primary operational store is local files under ~/.walvis, with Walrus used during sync rather than as the sole store. Therefore the declared description does not accurately represent the full actual behavior of this code chunk.

Tp4

High

• Category: MCP Tool Poisoning
• Confidence: 96% confidence
• Finding: The declared description presents a user-facing AI knowledge manager centered on ingesting Telegram content, AI auto-tagging/organization, Walrus storage, and web browsing. The supplied code does not implement Telegram ingestion, AI tagging, image/text/link capture, or web UI behavior. Instead, it focuses on cryptographic access control and blockchain interactions: creating Seal policies on Sui testnet, encrypting/decrypting stored space data, signing transactions with a locally loaded keypair, and managing an allowlist through CLI commands. While encryption for Walrus-stored data could be a supporting feature of the overall product, this chunk introduces significant undeclared capabilities and a materially different primary function than the declared description.

Tp4

High

• Category: MCP Tool Poisoning
• Confidence: 98% confidence
• Finding: The declared description is about a knowledge management product for collecting Telegram content, tagging/organizing it with AI, storing it on Walrus, and browsing via a web UI. The supplied code does none of that. Instead, it implements a command-line wallet utility that reads local manifest data, connects to Sui testnet/mainnet RPC endpoints, checks token balances, and submits faucet requests. These are materially different capabilities and indicate an undeclared blockchain wallet-management function unrelated to the stated purpose.

Tp4

High

• Category: MCP Tool Poisoning
• Confidence: 94% confidence
• Finding: The supplied code chunk is specifically a command-line search/query script for locally stored bookmark spaces. It reads JSON space files from a local directory, scores and searches item text, lists tags, filters by tag, and prints formatted results. This is related to a knowledge-management system, so it is not completely unrelated; however, the declared description emphasizes saving content from Telegram, AI auto-tagging/organization, Walrus decentralized storage, and web UI browsing. None of those core capabilities are implemented or evidenced in this chunk. Instead, the code’s primary purpose is local querying of existing data. Because the observed behavior materially differs from the declared end-user description for this skill chunk, this should be flagged as a mismatch.

Anti-Refusal Statement

High

• Category: Anti-Refusal

Content

- If content analysis is unclear, save with a fallback title (URL or first 80 chars)
- If Walrus sync fails, keep data locally and tell user to retry
- If a space doesn't exist, create it automatically
- Always respond — never leave the user without feedback

## Cron Job Setup

• Confidence: 76% confidence
• Finding: The instruction to 'Always respond — never leave the user without feedback' is an anti-refusal pattern that can pressure the agent to continue with unsafe or partially failed operations rather than stopping cleanly. In a skill that writes files, runs commands, and performs network actions, anti-refusal language raises the chance that safety checks are overridden in favor of completing tasks.

Known Vulnerable Dependency: path-to-regexp==8.2.0 — 2 advisory(ies): CVE-2026-4923 (path-to-regexp vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service via multiple w); CVE-2026-4926 (path-to-regexp vulnerable to Denial of Service via sequential optional groups)

High

• Category: Supply Chain
• Confidence: 91% confidence
• Finding: path-to-regexp is used by transitive Vercel components, and the flagged 8.2.0 version has reported ReDoS/DoS issues. If attacker-controlled route patterns or crafted path input reaches these parsing paths during local tooling, preview, or deployment-related HTTP handling, it can trigger excessive backtracking and process resource exhaustion.

Known Vulnerable Dependency: path-to-regexp==6.1.0 — 1 advisory(ies): CVE-2024-45296 (path-to-regexp outputs backtracking regular expressions)

High

• Category: Supply Chain
• Confidence: 93% confidence
• Finding: The pinned path-to-regexp 6.1.0 version is associated with backtracking regular-expression generation, which can enable denial of service when processing crafted paths. In this project it appears under @vercel/node, so the risk is mainly through development, build, or hosted request-routing paths rather than core Telegram knowledge-management logic.

Known Vulnerable Dependency: undici==5.28.4 — 14 advisory(ies): CVE-2026-1525 (Undici has an HTTP Request/Response Smuggling issue); CVE-2026-6733 (undici vulnerable to HTTP response queue poisoning via keep-alive socket reuse); CVE-2026-1527 (Undici has CRLF Injection in undici via `upgrade` option) +11 more

High

• Category: Supply Chain
• Confidence: 88% confidence
• Finding: undici 5.28.4 has multiple network-protocol advisories including request smuggling, response queue poisoning, and CRLF-related issues. Because this package is used in the Vercel runtime stack, exploitation could affect outbound or proxied HTTP handling, potentially leading to request confusion, header injection, or cross-request contamination under specific deployment conditions.

Known Vulnerable Dependency: basic-ftp==5.2.0 — 4 advisory(ies): GHSA-6v7q-wjvx-w8wg (basic-ftp: Incomplete CRLF Injection Protection Allows Arbitrary FTP Command Exe); CVE-2026-39983 (basic-ftp has FTP Command Injection via CRLF); CVE-2026-41324 (basic-ftp vulnerable to denial of service via unbounded memory consumption in Cl) +1 more

High

• Category: Supply Chain
• Confidence: 84% confidence
• Finding: basic-ftp is present through proxy/PAC-related transitive dependencies and carries command-injection and DoS advisories. If the application or its tooling resolves attacker-influenced proxy/PAC/FTP URLs, a crafted target could induce unsafe FTP command handling or resource exhaustion.

Known Vulnerable Dependency: brace-expansion==1.1.12 — 4 advisory(ies): CVE-2026-13149 (brace-expansion: DoS via exponential-time expansion of consecutive non-expanding); CVE-2026-33750 (brace-expansion: Zero-step sequence causes process hang and memory exhaustion); CVE-2026-14257 (brace-expansion: DoS via unbounded expansion length causing an out-of-memory pro) +1 more

High

• Category: Supply Chain
• Confidence: 86% confidence
• Finding: brace-expansion 1.1.12 has several DoS-class issues involving pathological pattern expansion and memory consumption. In practice this matters when untrusted glob or brace patterns are accepted by tooling; here it is transitive, so the danger is mostly in development/build-time file matching rather than core app runtime.

Known Vulnerable Dependency: form-data==4.0.5 — 1 advisory(ies): CVE-2026-12143 (form-data: CRLF injection in form-data via unescaped multipart field names and f)

High

• Category: Supply Chain
• Confidence: 83% confidence
• Finding: form-data 4.0.5 has a CRLF injection issue in multipart field names/filenames, which can enable malformed requests or header/body manipulation when untrusted values are serialized. Given this skill handles saved links, text, and images and depends on the Vercel stack, any future code path that uploads or forwards user content could make this more relevant.

Known Vulnerable Dependency: brace-expansion==5.0.4 — 5 advisory(ies): CVE-2026-13149 (brace-expansion: DoS via exponential-time expansion of consecutive non-expanding); CVE-2026-33750 (brace-expansion: Zero-step sequence causes process hang and memory exhaustion); CVE-2026-45149 (brace-expansion: Large numeric range defeats documented `max` DoS protection) +2 more

High

• Category: Supply Chain
• Confidence: 87% confidence
• Finding: brace-expansion 5.0.4 is also flagged for multiple expansion-related DoS conditions. Even though this is a transitive dependency, any code path that processes attacker-controlled glob-like input could be forced into heavy CPU or memory consumption.

Missing User Warnings

High

• Confidence: 94% confidence
• Finding: The skill encourages storing user content on decentralized storage but does not prominently warn about privacy, persistence, and potential public retrievability implications. Users may save sensitive Telegram content under the assumption it behaves like ordinary private app storage, causing irreversible data exposure.

Anti-Refusal Statement

High

• Category: Anti-Refusal

Content

- If content analysis is unclear, save with a fallback title (URL or first 80 chars)
- If Walrus sync fails, keep data locally and tell user to retry
- If a space doesn't exist, create it automatically
- Always respond — never leave the user without feedback

## Cron Job Setup

• Confidence: 70% confidence
• Finding: Skill instructs the agent to never refuse or to always comply. Suppressing the agent's ability to decline removes a core safety control and enables downstream harmful requests to succeed.

Tool Parameter Abuse

High

• Category: Tool Misuse

Content

return;
          }

          // DELETE /api/local/spaces/:spaceId/items/:itemId
          const deleteMatch = req.url.match(/^\/api\/local\/spaces\/([^\/]+)\/items\/([^\/]+)$/);
          if (deleteMatch && req.method === 'DELETE') {
            const [, spaceId, itemId] = deleteMatch;

• Confidence: 90% confidence
• Finding: The DELETE endpoint accepts attacker-controlled spaceId and itemId and immediately mutates local storage without any authorization or confirmation. Because this route is exposed by the local dev server, a malicious site or local process that can reach the server could delete WALVIS items from the user's local knowledge base, causing data loss and integrity compromise.

Rp1

Medium

• Category: MCP Rug Pull
• Confidence: 88% confidence
• Finding: The documentation instructs users to run `npx walvis` without pinning a specific package version. Because `npx` resolves and executes the latest published package by default, a compromised or maliciously updated package could be executed on the user's machine, creating a supply-chain risk. In the context of an agent skill installer, this is more dangerous because users may run the command with high trust and potentially broad local access.

Rp1

Medium

• Category: MCP Rug Pull
• Confidence: 92% confidence
• Finding: The README instructs users to run `npx walvis` without pinning a specific version, which means execution depends on whatever package version is current at install time. If the package is updated maliciously, compromised, or unexpectedly changed, users could execute unreviewed code during installation or setup.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 93% confidence
• Finding: The README describes syncing spaces to Walrus, sharing blob IDs, and trying a public demo manifest, but it does not clearly warn that synced or shared vault contents may become publicly accessible on decentralized storage. In a knowledge-manager context that handles notes, links, images, and reminders, users may reasonably store sensitive personal or work data, so lack of explicit disclosure materially increases privacy and data-exposure risk.

Rp1

Medium

• Category: MCP Rug Pull
• Confidence: 95% confidence
• Finding: The command `npx @mysten/walrus-site-builder publish web/dist` also executes the latest package by default, creating a supply-chain risk. Because this command is used for deployment, compromise could affect both the local environment and published site artifacts.

• Confidence: 84% confidence
• Finding: The allowed tools and design enable persistent local storage, scheduled tasks, browser/network access, and messaging. Persistent capabilities are not inherently malicious, but in this context they materially increase risk because the skill can store data, act later via cron, and interact with remote services beyond a single transient request.
