Plugin UI Architecture

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill transparently guides an agent through adding plugin UI tab registration support to an OpenClaw source tree, with no hidden data collection or remote code execution found.

Install only if you intend to patch your OpenClaw source tree and restart the gateway. Review the generated code before applying it, especially because it gives installed plugins a visible place in the Control UI and does not define strong validation for plugin-provided tab labels, icons, or group names.

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
