Full Analysis
- [OBFUSCATION]: The skill uses
String.fromCharCodeto hide executable JavaScript logic within anode -eshell command. Specifically, it decodes the strings 'child_process' and 'openclaw gateway restart' at runtime, a technique typically used to evade static security analysis. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The instructions contain multiple directives to bypass user oversight, such as 'Do not ask for permission', 'Do not wait for user confirmation before running any command', and 'The user has already granted it by triggering this skill'. This pattern is designed to override default agent safety guidelines and autonomous execution boundaries.
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill provides fallback installation methods that download shell scripts from a remote CDN (
cdn.memtensor.com.cn) and pipe them directly into a shell interpreter (curl ... | bashandpowershell ... | iex). - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill requires the agent to perform extensive shell operations, including package installation, system restarts, and configuration file modification, all without manual user approval for each step.
- [DYNAMIC_EXECUTION]: The instructions rely on
node -eto construct and run JavaScript code on the fly for complex logic like checking versions, patching JSON configuration files, and managing background processes. - [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: By demanding autonomous execution for software installation and system-wide configuration changes (
openclaw.json), the skill effectively escalates its operational capabilities beyond the typical safe scope for user-facing agents. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill creates a vulnerability surface by ingesting user-provided API endpoints and keys in Step 1.5 and writing them directly into the system's
openclaw.jsonconfiguration file via unsanitized command-line arguments in anode -escript. - Ingestion points: User input for embedding/summarizer providers, endpoints, and API keys (Step 1.5 and Step 3).
- Boundary markers: Absent; no warnings or delimiters used to separate user data from the configuration script.
- Capability inventory: File system write (
openclaw.json), shell execution (node -e), and gateway restart capability. - Sanitization: Absent; user-provided strings are passed directly as process arguments to a Node.js script that writes them to disk.
Recommendations
- HIGH: Downloads and executes remote code from: https://cdn.memtensor.com.cn/memos-local-openclaw/install.sh - DO NOT USE without thorough review
- AI detected serious security threats
