Security audit
Cron Worker Guardrails
Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk
Overview
This skill is a transparent checklist for making OpenClaw cron jobs more reliable and safer, with no executable payloads or hidden behavior found.
Install is reasonable if you want cron-worker reliability guidance. Because the skill is about unattended jobs, review any actual cron payloads it helps create for clear scope, documented environment variables, rollback behavior, and no destructive actions without explicit approval.
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
- 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
- Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
