Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a Markdown-only skill for reviewing OpenClaw skill files, with no evidence of hidden execution, persistence, credential access, or data exfiltration.

Before installing, users should know this skill is meant for auditing OpenClaw SKILL.md files and may read a skill file path they provide. Authors may want to adjust the EN/CN trigger-language guidance for their own audience, but no dangerous behavior was found.

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
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The trigger description is overly broad because it includes generic phrases like 'or similar requests', which can cause the skill to activate for loosely related prompts. In a review/audit skill, unintended invocation can misroute user requests, override a more appropriate skill, or expose file-review behavior in contexts where it was not intended.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The example description explicitly requires trigger phrases in EN/CN, and later sections repeat that descriptions should include English and Chinese colloquial triggers. This imposes a language expectation in the skill standard without user opt-in or a documented region-specific justification, which matches the locale-policy violation criteria.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The metadata template states that the description should contain trigger phrases in EN/CN. Because this is a normative requirement in natural-language guidance and does not provide user choice or a justified regional constraint, it is a policy violation under the language/locale rule.

Finding

The remediation guide tells authors to list trigger phrases in EN and CN, reinforcing a specific language policy. This is a natural-language instruction that forces a locale choice without opt-in or stated justification.

Finding

The checklist item says descriptions should include EN/CN triggers. As a prescriptive standard, this mandates particular languages rather than allowing user preference or a documented locale-specific exception.
