Deepseek Quick Config

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward Chinese-language setup guide for configuring OpenClaw to use DeepSeek, with no hidden code or automatic actions.

Install this only if you intend to use DeepSeek as an OpenClaw model provider. Prompts sent through that provider may be processed by DeepSeek, and the API key should be handled like a secret and stored only in trusted local configuration.

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

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The manifest metadata includes "chinese" as a defining keyword and identifies the author as the "OpenClaw CN Team," which signals a Chinese-language or locale-specific constraint. There is no accompanying description that offers language choice or explains a justified region-specific limitation, so this appears to force or assume a locale without user opt-in.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The document presents all user-facing instructions, explanations, and support text in Chinese only. Under the stated policy, forcing a specific language without user opt-in is a natural-language policy violation unless the locale constraint is explicitly justified.
