Cron To Session Transcript

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill transparently mirrors trusted cron or script messages into an OpenClaw session transcript, with local persistence risks that users should understand.

Install only if you want trusted local crons, reminders, or status scripts to create durable OpenClaw transcript entries. Do not feed it untrusted message sources, protect or rotate its local log and idempotency files if messages may be sensitive, and use --openclaw-home for testing or containment.

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.
