OpenClaw Version Monitor

• Outcome: Pass
• Latest audit: Sep 16, 2026 · 4:38 AM UTC
• Version: 2.0.2

Overview

This skill only helps fetch and summarize OpenClaw release notes from GitHub, with no hidden persistence or unrelated authority.

This looks safe for its purpose. Before installing, be aware it makes GitHub API requests and may use GITHUB_TOKEN if one is already set; use a low-privilege GitHub token and avoid asking it to process unrelated private repository data.

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
• 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
• Unauthorized Access and Privilege Escalation: Obtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
