Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

ClawScan rates this skill benign with medium confidence: the completed checks found no high risk issue, while one low probability finding and incomplete reference resolution leave some uncertainty.

The verdict is benign, but confidence is medium and the scan is incomplete. Before installing, consider whether the unresolved references matter to your use, and verify that any AWS access you provide is limited to what you intend.

A.I.G

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

Finding

Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
