Behavioral Risk Signals
Security Findings11
| Severity | Finding | Layer | Location | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CRITICAL | Persistence / self-modification instructions Shell RC file modification for persistence Remove any persistence mechanisms. Skills should not modify system startup configurations, crontabs, LaunchAgents, systemd services, or shell profiles. | Manifest | skills/snail3d/clawforgod/temp-transcriber/audio-transcriber/SKILL.md:52 | |
| CRITICAL | Persistence / self-modification instructions Shell RC file modification for persistence Remove any persistence mechanisms. Skills should not modify system startup configurations, crontabs, LaunchAgents, systemd services, or shell profiles. | Manifest | skills/snail3d/clawforgod/temp-transcriber/audio-transcriber/SKILL.md:55 | |
| CRITICAL | Arbitrary command execution Python shell execution (os.system, subprocess) Review all shell execution calls. Ensure commands are static (not built from user input), use absolute paths, and are strictly necessary. Prefer library APIs over shell commands. | Manifest | skills/snail3d/clawforgod/temp-transcriber/audio-transcriber/scripts/transcribe.py:37 | |
| CRITICAL | Arbitrary command execution Python shell execution (os.system, subprocess) Review all shell execution calls. Ensure commands are static (not built from user input), use absolute paths, and are strictly necessary. Prefer library APIs over shell commands. | Manifest | skills/snail3d/clawforgod/temp-transcriber/audio-transcriber/scripts/transcribe.py:54 | |
| HIGH | Dangerous call: subprocess.run() Call to 'subprocess.run()' detected in function 'check_dependencies'. This can execute arbitrary code. Avoid using dangerous functions like exec/eval/os.system. Use safer alternatives. | Static | skills/snail3d/clawforgod/temp-transcriber/audio-transcriber/scripts/transcribe.py:37 | |
| HIGH | Dangerous call: subprocess.run() Call to 'subprocess.run()' detected in function 'convert_to_wav_if_needed'. This can execute arbitrary code. Avoid using dangerous functions like exec/eval/os.system. Use safer alternatives. | Static | skills/snail3d/clawforgod/temp-transcriber/audio-transcriber/scripts/transcribe.py:54 | |
| HIGH | Potential data exfiltration: file read + network send Function 'transcribe' reads files and sends data over the network. This may indicate data exfiltration. Review this function to ensure file contents are not being sent to external servers. | Static | skills/snail3d/clawforgod/temp-transcriber/audio-transcriber/scripts/transcribe.py:78 | |
| HIGH | Potential Data Exfiltration via Arbitrary File Upload The `transcribe.py` script accepts a user-provided file path (`args.audio_file`) and uploads its content to the Groq API. While the skill's description implies it's for audio files, the script does not perform strict validation of the file type. This allows a malicious actor to potentially specify paths to arbitrary sensitive files (e.g., `/etc/passwd`, SSH keys, configuration files) on the host system. These files would then be read and exfiltrated to the Groq transcription service. Implement strict file type validation (e.g., using a library like `python-magic` to check the file's MIME type) to ensure that only actual audio files are processed and uploaded. Additionally, the agent orchestrator should restrict the file paths that can be passed to this skill, ideally limiting access to a sandboxed directory for user-provided files. | LLM | scripts/transcribe.py:70 | |
| MEDIUM | Suspicious import: requests Import of 'requests' detected. This module provides network or low-level system access. Verify this import is necessary. Network and system modules in skill code may indicate data exfiltration. | Static | skills/snail3d/clawforgod/temp-transcriber/audio-transcriber/scripts/transcribe.py:20 | |
| MEDIUM | Persistence mechanism: Shell RC file modification Detected Shell RC file modification pattern. Persistence mechanisms allow malware to survive system restarts. Review this persistence pattern. Skills should not modify system startup configuration. | Static | skills/snail3d/clawforgod/temp-transcriber/audio-transcriber/SKILL.md:52 | |
