Secureclaw Scanner

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a prompt-only security guidance skill with no executable payload, network code, or hidden persistence, though its documentation overstates included companion files.

Before installing, understand that this skill changes agent behavior by adding broad security guardrail instructions. It appears safe and offline, but do not rely on the advertised PROMPTS.md, TOOL_SAFETY.md, INCIDENT_RESPONSE.md, or BEST_PRACTICES.md companion files unless the publisher supplies them in a complete package.

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
  • Behavioral ASTexec() Call, eval() Call, Dynamic Import
  • 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
