BOC Forex Monitor

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed scheduled forex-rate monitor that fetches Bank of China exchange rates, stores local state, and can optionally send user-configured alerts.

Before installing, review the cron schedule, run the script once manually, confirm the notification channel/target/account, and keep .openclaw-state private or out of version control because it can contain alert history and recipient identifiers.

Category: MCP Least Privilege
Confidence: 95% confidence
Finding: The skill explicitly instructs users to copy and run Python scripts that read environment variables, access local state files, invoke shell-executed cron workflows, and fetch data from an external website, yet it declares no permissions. This creates a transparency and governance gap: operators may approve or deploy the skill without understanding that it can perform network access and persistent local file writes, which increases the risk of misuse or unintended data exposure.
