Risk Level: HIGH
Full Analysis

HIGH W007: Insecure credential handling detected in skill instructions.

  • Insecure credential handling detected (high risk: 1.00). Insecure: the skill explicitly asks the user to paste Telegram, LLM (Anthropic/OpenRouter) and Hetzner API tokens and then embeds those secrets verbatim into curl headers, cloud-init, hcloud context and other commands — forcing the LLM/agent to handle and output raw secret values.

MEDIUM W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk).

  • Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.85). The required runtime workflow ingests outsider-authored free text via Telegram updates: the wizard polls https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/getUpdates to extract chat_id and later the user’s /start and subsequent messages are delivered by Telegram and processed by the OpenClaw gateway/LLM, so arbitrary user-authored text (not chosen by the operating user) can reach the agent’s LLM context.

MEDIUM W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).


MEDIUM W013: Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions.

  • Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions detected (high risk: 1.00). The skill explicitly directs the agent to install system software (including sudo tar to /usr/local/bin), create and configure a VM (cloud-init that creates a sudo user "openclaw"), upload SSH keys, modify firewall rules, restart systemd services, and store API tokens/contexts — i.e. multiple privileged state-changing operations that modify the machine and require elevated privileges.
