Description
Nessus integration. Manage data, records, and automate workflows. Use when the user wants to interact with Nessus data.
Usage Guidance
Before installing or running this skill:
- Verify the third-party service (Membrane) and the CLI package: inspect @membranehq/cli on npm and the linked GitHub repo for recent activity, maintainers, and suspicious postinstall scripts.
- Note that SKILL.md requires node/npm and uses npx; the registry metadata did not declare these as required binaries. If you lack Node/npm, the commands will fail — if you install them, be aware global npm installs can run arbitrary scripts.
- Prefer using npx or a local install instead of npm -g to avoid changing system-wide binaries, or review the package contents before installing.
- Understand the auth flow: membrane login may open a browser or produce a code to paste; this delegates Nessus auth to Membrane — only proceed if you trust Membrane to store/handle your credentials.
- Confirm you’re comfortable with the Membrane privacy/security posture (how it stores credentials, who can access connections/actions) because the skill routes Nessus access through that service.
- If you need higher assurance, ask the skill author/registry owner for an explicit install spec and a declaration of required runtimes (node/npm), and verify the package checksum or source before installation.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: nessus
Version: 1.0.1
The skill facilitates Nessus integration by instructing the agent to install a global npm package (@membranehq/cli) and execute shell commands for authentication and API interaction via the Membrane platform. While these actions are aligned with the stated purpose, the requirement for global software installation and shell-based command execution constitutes a high-risk capability according to the analysis criteria. No evidence of intentional malice, data exfiltration, or prompt injection was found in SKILL.md or _meta.json.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill claims to integrate with Nessus via the Membrane platform, which is coherent: using a connector proxy/service to talk to Nessus explains why no Nessus API keys are declared. However the SKILL.md requires Node/npm usage (global npm install and npx) but the registry metadata lists no required binaries — a mismatch that should have been declared.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are scoped to installing and using the Membrane CLI, creating a connection, discovering and running actions. They do not ask the agent to read unrelated files or exfiltrate secrets. Minor scope issue: the instructions tell the user to run a global npm install and run membrane login (which opens a browser or prints an auth URL) — these are system-level actions and should be explicitly declared.
Install Mechanism
There is no formal install spec in the registry (skill is instruction-only), but the SKILL.md directs installation from the public npm registry (@membranehq/cli). Installing from npm is common and less risky than arbitrary downloads, but global npm installs can run package postinstall scripts and modify system state. The skill does not provide an explicit install specification or declare the runtime requirement (node/npm).
Credentials
The skill does not request environment variables or credentials in metadata, and explicitly advises against asking users for API keys because Membrane handles auth server-side. Requesting a Membrane account and network access is proportionate to the stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled and does not request elevated or persistent platform privileges. It does not instruct modifying other skills or system-wide agent settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install nessus - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/nessus - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
