Passive Income Monitor

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward passive-income monitoring helper, but users should treat its local logs, wallet identifiers, API keys, and optional webhooks as sensitive financial metadata.

Install only if you are comfortable storing wallet/node identifiers and optional API keys in local config. Use stdout or local file alerts for maximum privacy, restrict permissions on the config/log directory, and only enable webhooks to endpoints you trust because alert contents may reveal income patterns or node status.

Session Persistence

Medium
Category
Rogue Agent
Confidence
72% confidence
Finding

The skill documents persistent storage of alerts in ~/.config/passive-income-monitor/alerts.log, which creates a local history of earnings anomalies, node outages, and possibly wallet- or stream-identifying details. While local logging is common, retaining this data without any warning about sensitivity, retention, or file permissions can expose financial-monitoring information to other local users or malware on a shared system.

## Alert Methods

- `file` — Write alerts to `~/.config/passive-income-monitor/alerts.log`
- `stdout` — Print to terminal
- `webhook` — POST to configured URL (Discord, Slack, custom)
- OpenClaw integration: alerts appear as agent notifications

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill explicitly supports a webhook alert method that POSTs alert data to an external URL, but the description does not warn users that monitoring data, stream names, earnings status, or related metadata may be transmitted off-host. In a finance/crypto monitoring context, this omission matters because exported alert contents can reveal wallet-linked activity, node availability, and income patterns to third parties.
