Tailwind Design System

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill content is normal Tailwind design-system guidance, but its installation instructions use mutable, unverified remote npx/GitHub sources that could change after review.

Review the installation path before using it. Prefer a pinned ClawHub package version or a reviewed commit instead of `@latest` or a GitHub `main` branch, and avoid running the npx commands with elevated privileges. The skill content itself is ordinary frontend guidance, but the install commands deserve caution.

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

Medium
Category
MCP Rug Pull
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The README instructs users to execute a remote package/installer via npx add using a GitHub URL without any version pinning or integrity guarantee. This is a supply-chain risk because the referenced content can change over time, causing future installs to fetch different code than what was originally reviewed.

Content

MCP Rug Pull
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The command npx clawhub@latest install tailwind-design-system explicitly uses @latest, which is mutable and can pull newly published code without review. If the upstream package or dependency chain is compromised, users following the README may execute attacker-controlled code.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Session Persistence

Medium
Category
Rogue Agent
Confidence
60% confidence
Finding

Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.

Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.

External Model or Provider Selection

Confidence

Finding

Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.

MCP Rug Pull
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding

npx commands without a version suffix (e.g. @1.0.0) create a rug-pull risk if the upstream server is compromised and publishes a malicious update.

Vague Triggers

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The WHEN and KEYWORDS sections describe broad situations such as 'Building a component library with Tailwind' and 'Standardizing patterns across a codebase' without defining clear trigger phrases, scope limits, or negative examples. In a markdown skill description, this can make activation ambiguous and increase the chance of unintended invocation for general Tailwind or UI-related requests.
