X Creat Agent

• Outcome: Review
• Latest audit: Sep 16, 2026 · 9:21 AM UTC
• Version: 1.2.14

Overview

The skill appears intended to create OpenClaw agents, but it also writes persistent agent instructions and plaintext Feishu bot secrets in ways users should review before installing.

Install only after reviewing the generated workspace templates and openclaw.json changes. Avoid passing real Feishu AppSecrets on the command line, treat any saved secret as sensitive plaintext, and remove or narrow proactive monitoring and commit/push instructions unless you explicitly want that behavior.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns

• Skill Instruction Hijacking: Alters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
• Agent Memory Poisoning: Writes attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
• Insecure Skill Coding Practices: Finds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
• Remote Payload Retrieval and Execution: Fetches external code whose behavior can change after review
• Embedded Malicious Code: Ships malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally

8h since you said anything **When to stay quiet (HEARTBEAT_OK):** - Late night (23:00-08:00) unless urgent - Human is clearly busy - Nothing new since last check - You just checked <30 minutes ago **Proactive work you can do without asking:** - Read and organize memory files - Check on projects (git status, etc.) - Update documentation - Commit and push your own changes - **Review and update MEMORY.md** (see below) ``` ### Technical Analysis The declared function of the Skill is to create and register an OpenClaw agent. However, the generated `AGENTS.md` template also grants standing authority for the new agent to inspect email, calendars, social-media notifications, project repositories, and persistent memory. The instruction to “Commit and push your own changes” is especially significant because pushing commits is an external side effect. It can modify a remote repository and disclose local changes. These directives are unnecessary for creating an agent and exceed least privilege. Because the instructions are stored in generated workspace files, they can be loaded in later agent sessions rather than being limited to the creation process. The README also characterizes generated files as placeholders, which does not adequately disclose these extensive operational directives. ### Attack Path 1. A user invoke ...[truncated 1264 chars]

T09 · Insecure Skill Coding Practices

Warning

• Location: scripts/create_agent.py:281

Finding

Feishu application secrets are accepted through process arguments and stored in plaintext configuration

Content

" "" "" \ --feishu-appid "cli_xxxxxxxx" \ --feishu-appsecret "" ``` ### Technical Analysis Command-line arguments can be exposed through shell history, process inspection, terminal logs, debugging tools, and command telemetry. Supplying an application secret through `--feishu-appsecret` therefore creates avoidable local exposure. The secret is then stored as plaintext JSON. The script does not inspect or harden the permissions of `openclaw.json`, u ...[truncated 1468 chars]

e checks can batch together (inbox + calendar + notifications in one turn)
- You need conversational context from recent messages
- Timing can drift slightly (every ~30 min is fine, not exact)
- You want to reduce API calls by combining periodic checks

**Use cron when:**

- Exact timing matters ("9:00 AM sharp every Monday")
- Task needs isolation from main session history
- You want a different model or thinking level for the task
- One-shot reminders ("remind me in 20 minutes")
- Output should deliver directly to a channel without main session involvement

**Tip:** Batch similar periodic checks into `HEARTBEAT.md` instead of creating multiple cron jobs. Use cron for precise schedules and standalone tasks.

**Things to check (rotate through these, 2-4 times per day):**

- **Emails** - Any urgent unread messages?
- **Calendar** - Upcoming events in next 24-48h?
- **Mentions** - Twitter/social notifications?
- **Weather** - Relevant if your human might go out?

Instruction Override

High

• Category: Prompt Injection
• Confidence: 80% confidence

Finding

This pattern attempts to override system instructions or ignore safety constraints. Without LLM analysis, manual review is recommended.

Self-Modification

High

• Category: Rogue Agent
• Confidence: 85% confidence

Finding

Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.

## Why Separate?

Skills are shared. Your setup is yours. Keeping them apart means you can update skills without losing your notes, and share skills without leaking your infrastructure.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 95% confidence

Finding

The README instructs users to pass the Feishu AppSecret directly on the command line, which can expose the secret through shell history, process listings, audit logs, or monitoring tools. In this skill’s context, the command is specifically meant for agent provisioning and bot pairing, so users are likely to copy-paste it verbatim, increasing the chance of credential leakage.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Undeclared Tool Scope

Medium

• Category: MCP Least Privilege
• Confidence: 95% confidence

Finding

The skill instructs the agent to read environment configuration, discover installation paths, invoke a local Python script, and write agent configuration plus Feishu credentials into openclaw.json, but it declares no explicit tool scope or permissions boundaries. In a skill that handles secrets and performs file writes, missing scope declarations increases the chance of unintended execution or overbroad access if the hosting system relies on metadata for enforcement or review.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Vague Triggers

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 94% confidence

Finding

The trigger phrases include very generic requests like '创建 agent', '新建 agent', '添加 agent', and 'new agent', which can collide with ordinary conversation and cause the skill to activate unexpectedly. Because this skill performs filesystem changes and may collect/persist secrets, accidental triggering materially raises the risk of unintended writes or sensitive-data handling.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 97% confidence

Finding

The skill asks for Feishu AppID and especially AppSecret, then states that the script writes them directly into openclaw.json, but it provides no explicit warning about secret sensitivity, storage location, access controls, or redaction. In context, this is more dangerous because the workflow normalizes collecting credentials through conversational interaction and persisting them to a general config file, which can expose secrets through logs, transcripts, backups, or overly broad file permissions.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 93% confidence

Finding

The script accepts Feishu AppID/AppSecret on the command line and persists the secret into openclaw.json in plaintext. This creates real credential exposure risk because CLI arguments may be visible via process listings, shell history, logs, or copied config files, and the script provides no warning or safer handling path.

Content

Autonomous Decision Making

Medium

• Category: Excessive Agency
• Confidence: 75% confidence

Finding

Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 97% confidence

Finding

This natural-language template fixes the user's timezone to Asia/Shanghai regardless of the actual user context. That is a locale policy issue because it forces a specific regional setting without offering choice or documenting why the restriction is required.

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Intent-Code Divergence

Low

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 85% confidence

Finding

The workflow section says Step 1 should collect feishu_appid and feishu_appsecret as part of the required information, while later sections describe Feishu pairing as optional and only performed if credentials are passed. This is an internal documentation contradiction about the intended behavior of the skill, even though both paths still relate to agent creation.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Intent-Code Divergence

Low

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 82% confidence

Finding

Earlier documentation states path discovery searches upward from the script directory and from the openclaw binary location, with no depth limit, before checking common install paths. The later '脚本详情' section reduces this to only OPENCLAW_HOME, ~/.openclaw/, and common install paths, which actively presents a different implementation story.
