Git-Crypt Backup

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a transparent backup skill that pushes user-selected Clawdbot workspace and config repositories to GitHub, with real but expected sensitive-data risks.

Install only if you want Clawdbot workspace and configuration data backed up to GitHub. Use private repositories, verify git-crypt is initialized before the first commit, test encryption from a fresh clone, review `git status` and staged files before enabling cron, and store exported git-crypt keys securely.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
83% confidence
Finding
The skill advertises automated daily backups to GitHub without clearly foregrounding that local workspace and configuration contents will be transmitted to a remote repository on a schedule. In a backup skill handling config, sessions, credentials, and memory files, insufficient disclosure materially increases the risk of users enabling recurring exfiltration of sensitive local data to a remote destination they may not have fully reviewed.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The script automatically stages, commits, and pushes changes from both the workspace and config repositories to a remote without any confirmation, dry-run, or explicit notice at execution time. Even if the stated purpose is backup, this creates a real risk of unintentionally transmitting sensitive local data, secrets, or newly added files to GitHub, especially because it operates on a config directory that may contain credentials or private settings.
