Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The documentation encourages the use of piped remote script execution.
- Evidence:
references/docs/install/ansible.mdandreferences/docs/install/index.mdinstruct users to runcurl -fsSL ... | bashfromopenclaw.aiand GitHub repositories. - Risk: This pattern executes unverified code directly in the system shell.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The AI agent is instructed to run local scripts as part of its operational workflow.
- Evidence:
SKILL.mdcontains instructions for the agent to execute./scripts/update.shand./scripts/search-skills.sh. - Context: These scripts are used to rebuild internal indexes and search community skill lists.
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill promotes the use of
npxfor installing third-party extensions. - Evidence:
SKILL.mdsuggests usingnpx clawdhub@latest install <skill-slug>to install community-built skills. - Risk: Executing code from a remote registry based on user-supplied identifiers without local verification.
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is susceptible to indirect prompt injection due to its broad data ingestion surface.
- Ingestion points: Documentation updates from
https://docs.openclaw.ai/*.md(update.sh), community skill metadata (search-skills.sh), and user-supplied error logs. - Boundary markers: Absent. The agent is not instructed to isolate or verify external content.
- Capability inventory: The agent can execute scripts and has access to powerful tools (
exec,write,browser) via the OpenClaw gateway. - Sanitization: Absent. External data is treated as an authoritative source of truth.
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill documents and triggers downloads from external unverified domains.
- Evidence:
SKILL.mdand several documentation files reference downloads fromopenclaw.ai,raw.githubusercontent.com, andnpm.
