Skill Analyst

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a read-only analyst for comparing and vetting OpenClaw skills, with no evidence of hidden execution, persistence, or data exfiltration.

Before installing, confirm you want a helper that may inspect your local OpenClaw skills directory and use the clawhub CLI to compare candidate skills. The broad trigger wording could activate during generic install or publish questions, but the skill itself is read-only and report-focused.

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
  • System Prompt LeakageDirect Leakage, Indirect Extraction, Tool-Based Exfiltration
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access

Confidence

Finding

The listed triggers include broad natural phrases such as "is this skill worth installing" and "can I publish this", which could easily appear in ordinary conversation and unintentionally invoke the skill. The manifest does not provide scope limits, exclusion conditions, or negative examples to clarify when these phrases should or should not activate the skill.
