Description
Generate VCards, parse invite links, and create forwarding templates
Usage Guidance
This skill is a small local utility that runs a provided Node.js script to generate vCards, parse WhatsApp invite links, and show message templates. Before installing, ensure you are comfortable allowing the agent to run 'node' commands (Node.js must be available). The code contains no network calls or secret access, so it won't exfiltrate data or require credentials. If you want additional assurance, open scripts/forward.js yourself to review — it's short and human-readable.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: whatsapp-forward
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is classified as suspicious due to a potential shell injection vulnerability. The `SKILL.md` file instructs the OpenClaw agent to execute `scripts/forward.js` with user-controlled arguments (e.g., contact names, phone numbers, JSON strings, URLs). If the agent does not properly sanitize or escape these arguments before constructing the command string for `exec`, an attacker could inject arbitrary shell commands. The `scripts/forward.js` file itself does not contain malicious logic, but its direct use of `process.argv` for arguments creates a common vector for shell injection if the calling environment (the OpenClaw agent) is not robustly secured against such input.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (vCard generation, invite parsing, forwarding templates) align with the included script: forward.js implements vcard, multi-vcard, parse-invite, and template commands and nothing else.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only instructs running the provided Node script with explicit commands. The instructions do not ask the agent to read unrelated files, access environment variables, or transmit data externally.
Install Mechanism
No install spec (instruction-only). The included script is small, readable, and does not perform downloads or write to disk beyond normal execution. Low install risk.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths, which is proportional to its simple functionality.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent/system-wide changes. It simply runs a local script when invoked.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install whatsapp-forward - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/whatsapp-forward - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
