Layer Breakdown
Behavioral Risk Signals
Security Findings21
| Severity | Finding | Layer | Location | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CRITICAL | Network egress to untrusted endpoints Axios POST/PUT to URL Review all outbound network calls. Remove connections to webhook collectors, paste sites, and raw IP addresses. Legitimate API calls should use well-known service domains. | Manifest | skills/snail3d/clawcamera/scripts/overwatch-checkin.js:81 | |
| 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/clawcamera/scripts/overwatch.py:98 | |
| 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/clawcamera/scripts/overwatch.py:128 | |
| 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/clawcamera/scripts/overwatch.py:257 | |
| CRITICAL | Arbitrary command execution Node.js child_process require 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/clawcamera/scripts/overwatch-checkin.js:17 | |
| CRITICAL | Arbitrary command execution Node.js synchronous shell execution 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/clawcamera/scripts/overwatch-checkin.js:54 | |

Prefer library APIs over shell commands. | Manifest | skills/snail3d/clawcamera/scripts/overwatch-checkin.js:127 | |
| HIGH | Dangerous call: subprocess.run() Call to 'subprocess.run()' detected in function 'detect_motion'. This can execute arbitrary code. Avoid using dangerous functions like exec/eval/os.system. Use safer alternatives. | Static | skills/snail3d/clawcamera/scripts/overwatch.py:128 | |
| HIGH | Dangerous call: subprocess.run() Call to 'subprocess.run()' detected in function 'capture_frame'. This can execute arbitrary code. Avoid using dangerous functions like exec/eval/os.system. Use safer alternatives. | Static | skills/snail3d/clawcamera/scripts/overwatch.py:98 | |
| HIGH | Dangerous call: subprocess.run() Call to 'subprocess.run()' detected in function 'main'. This can execute arbitrary code. Avoid using dangerous functions like exec/eval/os.system. Use safer alternatives. | Static | skills/snail3d/clawcamera/scripts/overwatch.py:257 | |
| HIGH | Potential data exfiltration: file read + network send Function 'send_telegram_photo' 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/clawcamera/scripts/overwatch.py:58 | |
| HIGH | Potential command injection via WEBCAM_DEVICE environment variable The `scripts/capture.sh` script uses the `WEBCAM_DEVICE` environment variable directly in an `imagesnap` command without proper sanitization or validation. An attacker who can control this environment variable could inject arbitrary shell commands, leading to remote code execution. Validate and sanitize the `WEBCAM_DEVICE` environment variable before using it in shell commands. Ideally, restrict the possible values or use a safer method to pass device information. If `imagesnap` supports a specific format for device IDs, enforce that format. | LLM | scripts/capture.sh:10 | |
| MEDIUM | Missing required field: name The 'name' field is required for claude_code skills but is missing from frontmatter. Add a 'name' field to the SKILL.md frontmatter. | Static | skills/snail3d/clawcamera/SKILL.md:1 | |
| 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/clawcamera/scripts/overwatch.py:56 | |
| 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/clawcamera/scripts/overwatch.py:82 | |
| MEDIUM | Sensitive environment variable access: $HOME Access to sensitive environment variable '$HOME' detected in shell context. Verify this environment variable access is necessary and the value is not exfiltrated. | Static | skills/snail3d/clawcamera/scripts/motion-detect.sh:5 | |
| MEDIUM | Unpinned npm dependency version Dependency 'axios' is not pinned to an exact version ('^1.6.0'). Pin dependencies to exact versions to reduce drift and supply-chain risk. | Dependencies | skills/snail3d/clawcamera/package.json | |
| MEDIUM | Skill designed to capture and transmit images to external services The `overwatch-checkin.js` and `overwatch.py` scripts are designed to capture images from a webcam and transmit them to external services (Groq Vision API for analysis, Telegram for alerts). While this is the core functionality of the 'camera surveillance' skill, it poses a significant privacy and data exfiltration risk if the camera captures sensitive information from the environment. Users should be fully aware that visual data will be sent to third-party services. Ensure clear user consent and transparency regarding data capture and transmission. Provide options for users to disable or restrict this functionality. Advise users to place cameras in non-sensitive areas. | LLM | scripts/overwatch-checkin.js:100 | |
| LOW | Node lockfile missing package.json is present but no lockfile was found (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, or yarn.lock). Commit a lockfile for deterministic dependency resolution. | Dependencies | skills/snail3d/clawcamera/package.json | |
| LOW | Unpinned dependencies in package.json The `package.json` file specifies dependencies using caret (`^`) ranges (e.g., `^1.6.0`). This means that minor and patch versions can be automatically updated, which could introduce breaking changes, vulnerabilities, or malicious code without explicit review. It is best practice to pin dependencies to exact versions to ensure deterministic builds and prevent unexpected updates. Pin all dependencies to exact versions (e.g., `1.6.0` instead of `^1.6.0`) to ensure deterministic builds and prevent unexpected updates. Use a lock file (`package-lock.json`) and commit it. | LLM | package.json:29 | |
| INFO | API keys and tokens handled for external service communication The skill uses `GROQ_API_KEY`, `TELEGRAM_TOKEN`, and `TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID` (from environment variables or a local file) to authenticate and communicate with Groq Vision API and Telegram. While this is necessary for the skill's functionality, it means these sensitive credentials are present in the skill's execution environment. Compromise of the skill's environment could lead to credential leakage. Advise users to store credentials securely (e.g., using a secrets manager) and ensure the execution environment is hardened. Implement least privilege access for these credentials. | LLM | scripts/overwatch-checkin.js:20 |
