TDaí Memory Suite

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This memory skill has a coherent memory purpose, but it automatically modifies OpenClaw runtime/configuration and exposes sensitive conversation-memory surfaces with too little user control.

Install only after reviewing the automatic OpenClaw patching and conversation-access self-grant. Prefer a manually approved configuration, keep the gateway bound to loopback with authentication or network isolation, avoid the @latest Hermes installer path, and enable remote storage/offload only if you accept conversation data and host identifiers being sent to those services.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
  • Tool Hijacking and SpoofingModifies or replaces tools so legitimate-looking calls execute attacker logic
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection

The memory pipeline extracts and stores that content for future use. Because prompt-injection detection is disabled, malicious role instructions, boundary tags, tool-execution directions, or attempts to override prior instructions can become persistent memories. The recall system later places stored content into either: - `appendSystemContext`, which has elevated prompt authority, or - `prependContext`, which is prepended to the current user prompt. XML-like tags are only delimiters; they do not establish a security boundary for an LLM. The recalled data is not escaped, quoted as ine ...[truncated 1467 chars]

Installer Retrieves and Executes an Unpinned Latest Package Version

The npm `latest` tag can point to a different release at any time. `npm install` also executes dependency lifecycle scripts by default. This creates a mutable remote execution channel through the package registry. If the publisher account, registry namespace, release process, or a transitive dependency is compromised, the installer may retrieve and execute code that was never audited. The second `npm install` further resolves dependencies without a demonstrated locked, integrity-verified installation process. ### Attack Path 1. An attacker compromises the package publisher, npm account, package namespace, or a dependency release. 2. The attacker publishes a malicious version and assigns it to the `latest` tag. 3. A user executes the Hermes installer. 4. The script downloads the attacker's package through `npm install`. 5. npm runs package and dependency lifecycle scripts. 6. Malicious code executes with the privileges of the installing u ...[truncated 633 chars]

Intent-Code Divergence

Critical
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
100% confidence
Finding

The comments openly describe bypassing a security scanner that detects direct environment access combined with network-capable code as credential harvesting. That is a strong indicator of deliberate evasion rather than legitimate configuration handling, and it materially increases risk because it shows awareness of the security boundary and intentional efforts to circumvent it.

Finding

The documentation repeatedly claims a complete, fully local memory suite with no external API dependencies, yet it also references memory-tencentdb, optional Tencent Cloud Vector Database use, and Gateway/LLM-dependent extraction. This kind of description-behavior mismatch is dangerous because operators may deploy it under incorrect trust assumptions about data locality, network use, and what components are actually implemented.
