FGO Invoicing

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a legitimate FGO invoicing helper, but it gives an agent high-impact accounting powers with weak safeguards around API destination, destructive invoice actions, and sensitive debug output.

Install only if you trust the publisher and can run it in a constrained environment. Keep FGO credentials out of prompts and logs, avoid FGO_DEBUG and full payload output with real customer data, use UAT for testing, verify the API host before every real operation, and require human approval before issuing, cancelling, deleting, or reversing invoices.

Tainted flow: 'request' from os.getenv (line 175, credential/environment) → urllib.request.urlopen (network output)

Critical
Category
Data Flow
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The request target is derived from configurable environment/CLI input via base_url and then used directly in urlopen, so invoice payloads and authentication material can be transmitted to an arbitrary host. In this skill’s context, that is especially dangerous because the form body includes CodUnic, computed auth hashes, and full invoice/customer data, enabling exfiltration or misuse through SSRF-like redirection of trusted automation.

                    response_body = response.read()

Credential Access

Confidence

Finding

Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.

Content

The `--input` argument is validated before any file is read:

1. **Extension check** — only `.json` files are accepted. Passing `/etc/passwd`, `~/.ssh/id_rsa`, or any non-JSON path raises an error immediately.
2. **Path confinement** — the resolved path must be within the current working directory or a recognised OpenClaw media root (`/tmp/openclaw`, `~/.openclaw/workspace`, etc.). Paths that escape these roots via `../` traversal or absolute references are rejected.

Always pass `--input` with a path to a file you created (e.g. a temp file written in the agent workspace). Never set `--input` to a path supplied by untrusted external content.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

High
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The CLI accepts --base-url or FGO_API_BASE without constraining the destination, allowing an operator or compromised agent prompt to redirect authenticated invoice operations to an arbitrary server. Because this tool is specifically built to send business-sensitive invoice data externally, that configurability materially increases exfiltration risk in this skill context.

Content

Undeclared Tool Scope

Medium
Category
MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

The skill declares access to environment variables, local files, and networked API calls but does not define an explicit tool scope or permission boundary. In an agent setting, that increases the chance the skill is invoked with broader capabilities than necessary, enabling unintended access to secrets or filesystem content during invoicing workflows.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Session Persistence

Medium
Category
Rogue Agent
Confidence
60% confidence
Finding

Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.

  - Delete an invoice via `POST /factura/stergere`.
- `reverse-invoice`

  - Fetch a nomenclature list (no auth required): `tara`, `judet`, `tva`, `banca`, `tipincasare`, `tipfactura`, `tipclient`, `valuta`.

Intent-Code Divergence

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
85% confidence
Finding

The document asserts that input path validation and confinement happen before any file is read, but SKILL.md itself cannot enforce that behavior. If the underlying script does not actually implement these checks exactly as described, an agent may trust the documentation and pass attacker-controlled paths, leading to local file disclosure or processing of unintended files.

Content

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The document instructs users to obtain and use a private API key and suggests storing it in environment variables, but provides no guidance on secure storage, rotation, redaction, or log hygiene. In an automation/agent context, this increases the risk that credentials are exposed in prompts, traces, shell history, CI logs, or misconfigured environments, enabling unauthorized invoice operations.

Content

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

This markdown file documents /factura/stergere and /factura/anulare, which can remove or cancel invoices, but it does not include any warning about data loss, irreversibility, or the need for operator confirmation. For markdown files, SQP-2 applies when descriptions omit warnings about behaviors that could affect user data or system integrity.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

Debug mode logs full request bodies and parsed responses to stderr, which can expose invoice contents, customer PII, invoice identifiers, and API-returned links or status data to logs, terminals, or higher-level agent telemetry. In an automation/agent setting, stderr is often captured centrally, so this exceeds the invoicing purpose and can create durable sensitive-data leakage.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

Cancel and delete operations execute immediately once invoked, with no confirmation gate analogous to --allow-final for invoice issuance. In an agent-driven workflow, a mistaken instruction, prompt injection, or misrouted automation step could irreversibly alter accounting records without human acknowledgement.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

This code file enables a debug mode that prints full request/response payloads to stderr, and the implementation logs form bodies and response bodies verbatim. Those payloads can include invoice/customer data and authentication-derived request content, but there is no explicit warning in the user-facing help text that debug output may expose sensitive business data in logs or terminal history.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding

The phrase "Human-readable Romanian error message" indicates a fixed language expectation, which may conflict with language/locale policy when no user opt-in or justification is provided. SQP-3 applies to natural-language statements in any file that force a specific language without choice.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
82% confidence
Finding

This JSON example uses Romanian-specific field names and locale-bound values such as "Valuta": "RON", "Tara": "Romania", and labels like "Judet" and "Localitate". Because the file provides no accompanying indication that it is intentionally Romania-specific, it may implicitly force a locale without opt-in or documented justification.
