Security audit

Buddhism

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is mostly a static Buddhism reference skill, but it also includes unrelated personal profile, contact, and OpenClaw promotional content that users may not expect.

Review this skill before installing if you want a narrowly focused Buddhism reference. It has no code or system access, but it may cause agents to include unrelated personal contact or OpenClaw promotional information unless the skill is edited or split into separate Buddhism and profile/project skills.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • 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
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
Vulnerability Patterns

Findings (5)

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

The activation description is broad enough that many ordinary mentions of Buddhist terms could trigger the skill, even when the user's goal is different. Overbroad routing can inject irrelevant instructions or content into conversations, increasing the chance of unintended disclosures from the unrelated profile/promotional sections.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding

The description states this is a Chinese-English version skill, and the document consistently frames content in those two languages only. There is no indication that users can choose other languages or opt in to a locale restriction, which may conflict with language-choice policy expectations.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The skill is presented as a Buddhism information resource, but a substantial section pivots into unrelated personal profile and OpenClaw project promotion. This creates scope confusion and can cause the agent to disclose or prioritize unrelated personal/business content when users intended to ask about religion or culture, violating least-surprise and increasing prompt-surface for data leakage or covert promotion.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The file contains direct personal contact information and external promotional links unrelated to the stated Buddhism-teaching purpose. In an agent setting, this can lead to unnecessary disclosure of personal data, unsolicited promotion, or steering users to third-party services without clear user intent.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The usage instructions enumerate broad trigger topics without boundaries and explicitly include Chen Lang's profile and OpenClaw matrix as response topics. This widens the skill's response scope beyond its declared purpose and increases the likelihood that unrelated personal/promotional content is surfaced during normal Buddhist-topic queries.
