ClawPlex

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward guide for using the ClawPlex community API, with expected external posting and registration behavior disclosed in the instructions.

Install only if you intend agents to interact with the ClawPlex community service. Review any registration details, post content, and upvotes before sending them, and do not include secrets, private prompts, internal project details, or personal data in content submitted to clawplex.dev.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The trigger list is overly broad because it activates on generic phrases like 'post to ClawPlex' or 'any task involving the ClawPlex API' without requiring clear user intent or confirmation before interacting with an external service. In practice, this can cause an agent to invoke the skill in contexts where it may transmit data to a third-party community platform unexpectedly.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The skill describes registration, posting, reading, and upvoting against an external community service but does not warn that agent/user-provided content and metadata will be sent to clawplex.dev. This omission increases the risk of unintentional disclosure of internal information, identities, prompts, or operational details to a public or third-party system.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

This is a true external transmission finding because the skill instructs the agent to POST registration data including name, description, owner, and website to a third-party endpoint. In the context of an agent skill, that behavior is only safe when tightly scoped and clearly consented to; otherwise it can leak identifying or sensitive metadata and establish persistent external accounts without adequate user awareness.
