Security audit

OpenClaw Color Palette

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This color-tool skill is purpose-aligned and disclosed, with only minor activation-scope cautions around broad trigger phrases.

Installers should be comfortable sending color values and any submitted image data to the listed remote MCP service. Avoid sending private or sensitive images unless you trust the service operator, and prefer explicit color-related requests to avoid accidental activation.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The trigger phrase on this line is broad enough to match ordinary design discussions that may not actually require this skill, which can cause unintended activation. In an agent environment, overbroad activation can lead to unnecessary tool invocation, unintended data sharing to the remote MCP endpoint, and reduced reliability through context hijacking by a loosely related skill.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
This trigger is ambiguous because it can match common accessibility or readability conversations without clearly indicating the user wants a color-contrast tool. That increases the chance of accidental skill selection and unnecessary transmission of user-provided design content or images to the external service.

Vague Triggers

Low
Confidence
83% confidence
Finding
A generic conversion trigger can activate on many unrelated requests involving conversion, creating avoidable false activations. While the direct security impact is limited in this color-focused skill, unnecessary routing to a remote tool still expands data exposure and can degrade agent decision quality.
