OpenClaw Hot Skills

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill coherently helps users find and evaluate ClawHub skills, with only normal CLI and registry-use risks to consider.

Before installing, understand that this skill may install or invoke the `clawhub` CLI, query the ClawHub registry, and list locally installed skills. Confirm the CLI source/version if your environment is sensitive, and review any recommended skill before allowing installation.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • 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

Finding

Skill contains instructions that could directly expose system prompts, internal rules, or hidden instructions to users or external parties.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The skill description contains very broad trigger phrases such as generic requests for 'help finding skills' or 'how to extend capabilities', which can cause the skill to activate for many ordinary conversations beyond its intended scope. Over-broad activation increases the chance that an external-tooling skill will run unnecessarily, potentially exposing local installation state or initiating registry queries when a narrower skill or normal assistant response would be safer.
