OpenClaw Codex GPT-5.4 Enable

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This documentation-only skill gives a scoped, reversible workflow for changing OpenClaw model configuration, with no hidden code or automatic actions found.

Before installing, confirm you understand the configuration change, back up ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, and verify that adding openai-codex/gpt-5.4 as a provider, alias, and fallback is appropriate for your OpenClaw environment.

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

Findings (1)

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 98% confidence
Finding: The file's user-facing instructions switch to Chinese starting at L017 and remain in that language throughout the operational guidance. Under the policy, forcing a specific language without user opt-in is a natural-language policy violation unless the locale restriction is explicit and justified, which is not present here.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.
