High Risk

Scan OpenBot/Clawdbot skills for security vulnerabilities, malicious code, and suspicious patterns before installing them. Use when a user wants to audit a skill, check if a ClawHub skill is safe, scan for credential exfiltration, detect prompt injection, or review skill security. Triggers on security audit, skill safety check, malware scan, or trust verification.

🔒 Containment

Level: maximum

Required:

SANDBOX_CONTAINER: Code execution capability

Recommended:

LOG_ACTIONS: Audit trail for all actions

⚡ Risks

Base64 decode + execute pattern in: scripts/advanced_checks.py critical

Mitigation: Decode and review obfuscated content before use.

Security bypass pattern detected in: scripts/advanced_checks.py critical

Mitigation: This skill attempts to disable security features. Do not use.

Cloud credential access patterns in: scripts/advanced_checks.py high

Mitigation: Verify legitimate need for cloud credential access.

Keychain/credential store access in: scripts/advanced_checks.py, scripts/scan.py high

Mitigation: Block keychain access or use isolated environment.

Command injection risk: COMMAND_INJECTION_EVAL, MCP_CMD_REVERSE_SHELL critical

Mitigation: Avoid eval(), exec(), and compile(). Use safer alternatives like ast.literal_eval()

Social engineering indicators: SOCIAL_ENG_VAGUE_DESCRIPTION low

Mitigation: Provide clear, detailed description of skill functionality

Data exfiltration patterns: DATA_EXFIL_SOCKET_CONNECT critical

Mitigation: Remove socket connections unless absolutely necessary
