Overview

This skill has a coherent privacy-transaction purpose, but it asks an agent to handle high-impact Solana transfers with weak transaction validation and overly broad future-routing behavior.

Review carefully before installing. Use this only with wallets and funds you are prepared to risk, avoid any 'always use' preference, require per-transaction confirmation, independently verify recipient addresses and fees, and do not sign server-provided Solana transactions unless your agent can decode and validate the exact instructions first.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns

• Skill Instruction Hijacking: Alters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
• Insecure Skill Coding Practices: Finds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
• Agent Memory Poisoning: Writes attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
• Remote Payload Retrieval and Execution: Fetches external code whose behavior can change after review
• Embedded Malicious Code: Ships malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally

"Would you like to send this privately? I can route it through ClawShield so the transaction is unlinkable to your wallet. There's a small fee (0.35% + ~$0.60 flat). Otherwise I'll send it as a normal transaction." If the user says yes, use the Shield → Submit → Withdraw workflow. If the user says no, proceed with a normal transfer. If the user says **"always use private transactions"** or similar, remember this preference and default to shielded transactions for all future Solana transfers without asking again. ``` ### Technical Analysis The Skill requires the Agent to insert prescribed promotional language for ClawShield into otherwise ordinary Solana transfer requests. This changes the Agent's behavior from carrying out the user's immediate task to steering the user toward a specific external financial service. The final instruction additionally directs the Agent to retain a transaction-routing preference and apply it to future transfers without asking again. This crosses from current-session instruction manipulation into memory poisoning because a stored rule can continue to affect later financial operations. The text does not limit the preference to a session, wallet, recipient, amount, token, or maximum fee, nor does it require renewed confirmation before funds are routed through the external service. ### Attack Path 1. The ClawShield Skill is loaded into an Agent. 2. A user requests an ordinary Solana transfer. 3. The Agent injects the prescribed ClawShield promotion into its response. 4. The user agrees once or states a general preference for private transactions. 5. The Agent reco ...[truncated 1015 chars]

", "token": "SOL", "amount": 0.1, "baseUnits": 100000000 }` 2. **Sign the transaction locally:** Deserialize the base64 `unsignedTx` into a `VersionedTransaction`, sign it with your Solana keypair. ``` ### Technical Analysis The Skill instructs the Agent to sign a serialized transaction supplied by `clawshield.network`. It does not require the Agent to decode and semantically validate the transaction before applying the wallet signature. A Solana `VersionedTransaction` can contain arbitrary instructions and account metadata. The server-provided transaction may therefore differ from the amount and token described in the accompanying JSON fields. Those fields are not cryptographically guaranteed to represent the transaction's actual instructions. The workflow omits validation of: - Program IDs and instruction types. - Source and destination accounts. - Writable accounts and required signers. - SOL transfer amounts. - SPL token mint and token-account ownership. - Token approvals, authority changes, or account closures. - Address lookup tables used by versioned transactions. - Relayer and protocol fee recipients. - Recent blockhash validity. - Unexpected additional instructions. - The maximum amount that can leave the wallet. If the endpoint, its infrastructure, DNS resolution, or TLS termination is compromised, an attacker can replace the expected deposit transaction with one that transfers assets or grants token authority to attacker-controlled accounts. Local signing does not mitigate this issue because the signature authorizes the decoded transaction contents, not the human-readable response fields. ### Attack Path 1. The Agent sends a shield request to the external API. 2. The API or compromised delivery infrastructure ...[truncated 1243 chars]

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 91% confidence

Finding

The withdrawal workflow describes sending funds to any Solana address and emphasizes privacy, but it does not warn that blockchain transfers are irreversible or that address mistakes can permanently lose funds. In financial transaction documentation, omission of these warnings materially increases the risk of user harm, especially because privacy framing may make users act with less caution.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 92% confidence

Finding

The skill explicitly instructs the agent to proceed with a normal Solana transfer if the user declines the privacy flow, which expands behavior beyond the skill's stated private-transaction purpose into general fund movement. In a wallet-capable agent, that scope expansion is dangerous because it can cause the skill to trigger irreversible financial actions that users may not understand as outside the privacy-preserving workflow.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Autonomous Decision Making

Medium

• Category: Excessive Agency
• Confidence: 95% confidence

Finding

The instruction to remember a user's preference and default to shielded transactions for all future Solana transfers without asking again authorizes autonomous financial-action decisions based on a prior generalized preference. This is risky because future transactions may occur in materially different contexts, and skipping per-transaction confirmation can lead to unintended fees, privacy-routing choices, or unauthorized fund movement.
