Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill can generate documents, but it also includes under-disclosed workspace and memory changes plus insecure default Odoo credential use.

Review this skill before installing. Use the document generators only with explicit output paths, prefer --company-name/--logo-path or --no-odoo unless you have audited the Odoo credential flow, and do not run scripts/generate-config.sh against an active OpenClaw workspace unless you intend to replace persistent agent identity and memory files.

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
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • 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

This script instead generates authoritative OpenClaw workspace files that define an Agent's identity, goals, startup procedure, communication style, and future behavior. When `OUTPUT_DIR` points to an active OpenClaw workspace, shell redirection with `>` replaces any existing `SOUL.md` and `AGENTS.md` files without backup or confirmation. The newly generated startup instructions then direct subsequent sessions to load the replacement persona and associated memory files before performing other work. This behavior exceeds the minimum privileges necessary for document generation. It is especially significant because the do ...[truncated 1396 chars]

It also directs the Agent to continue updating the persistent memory after every conversation. Questionnaire fields such as the user's name, company, role, tools, and projects are treated as trusted memory content without a security boundary between factual profile data and potential instructions. Consequently, attacker-controlled questionnaire values can be placed into a persistent cont ...[truncated 1576 chars]

Shell double quotes prevent ordinary shell metacharacters inside the variable from being reparsed as shell syntax, but they do not protect the generated JavaScript program. A path containing a single quote and valid JavaScript tokens can terminate the `require('...')` string and inject additional JavaScript statements. The preceding `-f` check only establishes that a filesystem object with the supplied name exists. It does not make the filename safe for inclusion in source code. On filesystems that permit quote and punctuation characters in filenames, an attacker can create a crafted filename that both passes the ...[truncated 1384 chars]

Missing User Warnings

High
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

TLS verification is explicitly disabled by setting check_hostname to False and verify_mode to CERT_NONE before authenticating to Odoo. This enables man-in-the-middle interception of credentials and tampering with returned company data or downloaded logo content, which is especially dangerous because the script uses stored local credentials automatically.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The script’s behavior materially diverges from the advertised Word/PDF document-generation scope by creating a persistent AI-assistant workspace with identity, memory, behavioral, and agent-operation files. This scope mismatch is dangerous because users may grant trust and provide data expecting a narrow document tool, while the skill silently provisions broader agent capabilities and retention mechanisms.

Tool Misuse

Missing User Warnings

High
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

The deployment verification step instructs operators to log in with a default credential pair (admin/admin) and does not warn that the account must be changed, disabled, or limited to non-production use. If such credentials exist in a reachable environment, attackers can obtain immediate administrative access with no exploit required.

Undeclared Tool Scope

Medium
Category
MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The skill declares broad operational capabilities in its documented workflow, including local file reads/writes, shell execution, and external service access, but does not constrain them with an explicit tool scope. In an agent environment, this increases the chance the skill is invoked with more authority than users expect, especially because it also includes persistence and remote lookup behavior unrelated to simple document rendering.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The trigger list includes many broad everyday phrases such as writing documents, reports, plans, or contracts, making accidental activation likely. In an agentic setting, overly broad triggers can cause the skill to run in contexts where users did not intend local persistence, shelling out, or external lookups.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The workflow explicitly states that company information may be read from memory, written to local cache, and synchronized back into memory, but the skill description does not prominently warn users about this persistence. This creates a privacy and data-governance risk because sensitive corporate identity information may be stored or propagated without informed consent.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The dedicated trigger section repeats highly ambiguous activation phrases without clearly constraining when the skill should engage. Because this skill can consult memory, persist company data, and use multiple backends, accidental invocation can expose data or perform unintended actions beyond mere drafting assistance.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

The helper performs undisclosed outbound access to an Odoo server and downloads remote logo content while handling what appears to be local company metadata for document generation. In this skill context, silent network access expands the trust boundary, can leak the presence of local credentials and usage patterns, and introduces remote content into local document workflows without strong validation.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The script automatically reads local Odoo credentials and performs remote authentication/queries during normal resolution unless --no-odoo is supplied, with no affirmative user consent in the default flow. In a document-generation skill, this is riskier because users reasonably expect local formatting operations, not background credential use and network activity.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

This code file contains natural-language strings that effectively force a specific language/locale for users, including the module docstring and usage instructions. Under the policy, language constraints should either offer user choice or be clearly documented as a justified region-specific limitation, which is not present here.
