Clawhub Skill Bandwidth Income

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is coherent for bandwidth-income nodes, but it asks users to run persistent network-relay containers with sensitive access and insufficient safety scoping.

Review this carefully before installing. Use only dedicated, isolated hosts or VLANs, verify platform terms and ISP rules, avoid reused credentials, do not expose management ports publicly, prefer pinned and verified container images, and understand that abuse complaints or traffic reputation issues may trace back to your IP.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • 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

Missing User Warnings

Finding

The Mysterium instructions do not prominently warn that the host becomes a VPN exit node, meaning third-party traffic may appear to originate from the user's public IP. In this specific skill that is highly dangerous because it can create abuse complaints, legal exposure, reputation damage, and increased attack surface while encouraging non-expert users to deploy it quickly.

Privileged Container / Container Escape

Category
Privilege Escalation
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

Granting NET_ADMIN gives the container powerful control over networking, including interface, routing, firewall, and packet-handling changes. Even if required for legitimate VPN functionality, this materially increases the blast radius of a compromised or malicious container and is especially risky here because the skill also uses third-party images and exposes the service to external traffic.

Finding

The examples encourage setup and restart operations for bandwidth-sharing nodes without clearly foregrounding that these actions deploy third-party containers and may expose services or route external traffic through the user's IP. That omission increases the chance that users execute risky commands without understanding the legal, privacy, and security consequences.

Finding

The skill instructs users to run third-party Docker images using mutable tags instead of pinned digests, which allows image contents to change over time without review. In this context the risk is amplified because the containers handle credentials, networking, and potentially route third-party traffic, so a compromised or swapped image could execute arbitrary code or exfiltrate secrets.

Confidence

Finding

This deployment runs a network-facing VPN node from an unpinned image, so future pulls may introduce malicious or unsafe changes without the user's knowledge. Because the container also requests elevated networking capability and exposes a management port, a malicious image could have significant host and network impact.

Finding

The Storj node is deployed from an image reference that is not immutably pinned, creating supply-chain risk if the image is changed upstream or the registry account is compromised. Since the container stores wallet, email, public IP, and persistent data, compromise could lead to credential theft, data tampering, or abuse of exposed services.
