Security audit

Boris Workflow for OpenClaw

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The skill’s goal is coherent, but users are asked to install unreviewed external code from inconsistent GitHub repository references.

Review the external repository carefully before installing, confirm which GitHub owner is authoritative, and prefer pinning to a known commit in an isolated Python environment. Start with mock or dry-run mode, avoid parallelizing destructive or account-changing tasks without explicit approvals, keep the Web UI bound to localhost, and inspect ~/.boris before running the optional uninstall deletion.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The uninstallation section uses recursive deletion commands against directories in the user's home directory without any warning that the operation is irreversible and may remove user data or configuration. Even though the paths are scoped and not obviously malicious, copy-paste execution of destructive commands in installation docs creates a real safety risk.
