Telegram Topic Message Sender

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a small, disclosed wrapper for sending user-provided text through OpenClaw messaging, with flexible Telegram target settings that users should verify before use.

Before installing, confirm that the configured OpenClaw channel auth is appropriate and check the `--channel`, `--chat-id`, and `--topic-id` values before running the script, since it can send messages to whichever destination those values select.

Finding
The skill is described as sending messages to a fixed Telegram topic, but the documented behavior allows runtime override of channel, chat ID, and topic ID. This expands the action from a narrowly scoped notification helper into a generic outbound messaging primitive, which can be abused to send messages to unintended destinations or even non-Telegram channels if the underlying CLI supports them.
