Description
Securely store, list, and retrieve your private information like API keys, passwords, and tokens in a local JSON file.
Usage Guidance
This skill is functionally coherent but has real safety issues you should consider before installing: it saves secrets in plaintext under /workspace (not safe for sensitive keys), the package metadata does not declare that 'node' is required, and the implementation uses node -e with direct string interpolation—this allows a malicious or accidental secret name/value to execute arbitrary JavaScript on your machine. If you plan to use it: (1) only run it in a trusted, isolated environment; (2) verify Node is the correct version and present; (3) do not store high-value secrets there—use an encrypted secret manager instead; (4) inspect and/or modify the script to remove node -e usage (use a small Node script file that reads process.argv and safely serializes inputs, or use jq to edit JSON), enforce allowed characters for names, and set strict filesystem permissions on secrets.json. If you are not comfortable auditing or fixing these issues, prefer a vetted secret-management tool rather than this skill.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: private-secrets-1-0-0 Version: 1.0.0 The skill provides a basic secret management utility but contains critical command injection vulnerabilities in private-secrets.sh. The script passes unsanitized shell variables ($NAME and $VALUE) directly into a 'node -e' execution string, which allows for arbitrary code execution if the agent or a user provides crafted input. While the tool explicitly warns in SKILL.md that secrets are stored unencrypted in secrets.json, the lack of input sanitization makes the implementation highly risky, though there is no clear evidence of intentional malicious exfiltration.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description match the implementation: a local JSON-based secret store. However the shipped script relies on the node binary (node -e) while the skill metadata declares no required binaries. That missing dependency is an inconsistency that affects whether the skill will work and signals incomplete metadata.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and the script limit actions to creating/reading /workspace/skills/private-secrets-1.0.0/secrets.json and do not exfiltrate data. But secrets are stored unencrypted in workspace (explicitly noted). The script uses node -e with unescaped interpolation of the NAME and VALUE variables, creating a strong command/JS injection risk if a name or value contains quotes or crafted payloads.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec (lower risk) and the skill is instruction-only plus a small shell script. The practical runtime requirement for node is not declared; that omission should be corrected. No external downloads or obscure URLs are used.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or external credentials, which is appropriate for a local secret store. Be aware the storage location is inside the workspace and therefore accessible to anyone or any process with workspace access.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request elevated privileges. It only reads/writes its own secrets.json file and does not modify other skills or global agent settings.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install private-secrets-1-0-0
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /private-secrets-1-0-0
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
