ClawHub Skill Publisher

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward ClawHub publishing assistant, but users should be aware it can edit skill files and guide a publish workflow.

Install only if you want an agent to help revise ClawHub skill files and prepare publishing. Review generated patches before accepting them, keep research installs in a temporary directory, and approve the final clawhub publish command only when the slug, version, changelog, and account are correct.

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

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The README states that the skill will patch README/SKILL files and walk the user through publishing, but it does not clearly warn up front that local files will be modified and that the workflow proceeds toward a publish action. This can lead users to invoke the skill without understanding that it may alter their repository contents and advance a release workflow, increasing the chance of unintended changes or accidental publication.
