Claw Setup Configuration

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple documentation-answering skill with no code, installer, persistence, or hidden privileged behavior.

Reasonable to install if you want help with OpenClaw setup and configuration. Treat answers as documentation assistance and verify important configuration changes against official sources, but this artifact does not request sensitive access or background behavior.

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

Vague Triggers

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 93% confidence
Finding: The phrase "Ask any question about OpenClaw setup or configuration" is very broad and does not define specific trigger phrases, scope boundaries, or exclusion conditions. In a skill description, this ambiguity can cause unintended invocation for general OpenClaw discussion rather than narrowly scoped setup/configuration requests.
