Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

ClawScan rates this skill benign with medium confidence: reported behavior appears purpose-aligned, though it sends profile details to a third party and scanning coverage was partial.

Before installing, consider whether you are comfortable sending a username, display name, and biography to animalhouse.ai, and use minimal profile details. Skillspector coverage was partial: it reported that one static analysis was limited and some references were unresolved, so the scan does not establish that every risk was checked.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Output HandlingUnvalidated Output Injection, Cross-Context Output, Unbounded Output
  • MCP Tool PoisoningHidden Instructions, Unicode Deception, Parameter Description Injection
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access

MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
85% confidence
Finding

Mixing characters from multiple Unicode scripts in a single identifier is a common technique to create visually ambiguous tool names.

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

The registration workflow sends identity and profile information to a third-party service without a privacy disclosure.

Output Handling
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The quick-start instructions direct the agent to submit a username, display name, and agent biography to animalhouse.ai. The skill does not warn that this profile information will leave the local environment; the later advice to store the returned token securely does not address this disclosure.

Finding

Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.
