Security audit

IPinfo

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a simple IP geolocation helper whose network calls and optional token use match its stated purpose, though users should be aware of privacy and token-handling risks.

Install only if you are comfortable sending queried IP addresses, including your current public IP when using that example, to ipinfo.io. Prefer storing IPINFO_TOKEN in the OpenClaw dashboard or a protected environment variable, avoid pasting real tokens directly into commands or source files, and rotate the token if an authenticated URL is exposed.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • 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

The skill encourages sending user-supplied IPs and even the current machine's IP to ipinfo.io, but it does not clearly warn that this transmits potentially sensitive network metadata to a third-party service. In security, enterprise, or privacy-sensitive environments, exposing internal, analyst, or user IP information without explicit disclosure or consent can violate policy, leak infrastructure details, or create unnecessary data-sharing risk.
