Full Analysis
- [CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE]: The skill accesses a highly sensitive file containing a GitHub API token located at the path
/root/.openclaw-claw2/credentials/github_token. - [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill reads the local GitHub token and transmits it to the GitHub API via Authorization headers for search and issue creation operations.
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill creates an attack surface by ingesting YAML 'Capsules' from a remote GitHub repository and explicitly instructing the agent to 'strictly follow' the procedures in the
correct_processfield and 'not to exercise your own judgment'. This overrides the agent's reasoning capabilities in favor of potentially malicious remote content. - Ingestion points:
SKILL.mdfetches content fromraw.githubusercontent.comandapi.github.comin Phase 1. - Boundary markers: Absent; the skill explicitly directs the agent to follow the instructions verbatim.
- Capability inventory: The skill has access to shell execution (
curl,python3) and file system access. - Sanitization: None; the agent is instructed to obey the remote content without validation.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill executes shell commands that pipe remote content from the GitHub API into a Python interpreter. Automated scans detected execution patterns where remote repository data is processed directly by
python3. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill fetches directory listings, README files, and configuration data from the author's public GitHub repository (
BENZEMA216/openclaw-pitfalls).
Recommendations
- HIGH: Downloads and executes remote code from: https://api.github.com/repos/BENZEMA216/openclaw-pitfalls/contents/capsules - DO NOT USE without thorough review
- AI detected serious security threats
