Install in OpenClaw
/install canvas
Description
Display and control HTML content on connected Mac, iOS, or Android nodes via a web-based canvas with live reload and remote actions.
Usage Guidance
Install/use this only if you intend to control canvases on connected OpenClaw nodes. Keep the canvas root limited to non-sensitive display files, prefer the narrowest bind mode that works, confirm the target node and URL before actions, run eval only with trusted JavaScript, and avoid snapshotting canvases that show secrets or private data.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: canvas
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is classified as suspicious due to several high-risk capabilities that could be exploited as vulnerabilities. Primarily, the `eval` action allows arbitrary JavaScript execution within the WebView, posing a significant client-side vulnerability (e.g., XSS, potential data exfiltration if the WebView has access to local resources). Additionally, the skill serves local files from a configurable root directory (`canvasHost.root`), which could be misused to expose sensitive data if an attacker can control the directory or inject malicious files. The server's ability to bind to LAN or Tailscale further increases the attack surface for these potential exploits. While these capabilities are presented as features, they represent critical attack vectors if not properly secured at the agent or user input level.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The documented actions fit the stated purpose of presenting and controlling HTML on connected OpenClaw nodes, including navigation, JavaScript evaluation, screenshots, and live reload.
Instruction Scope
The workflow is user-directed and requires node IDs and URLs, but the artifact gives only brief descriptions for eval and snapshot and does not add strong safety or privacy warnings.
Install Mechanism
The artifact contains only SKILL.md documentation; metadata and static scan show no executable scripts, package install steps, or hidden installer behavior.
Credentials
Serving files from a configured canvas root over loopback, LAN, or Tailscale is proportionate to the canvas purpose, but the root directory should be limited to files intended for display.
Persistence & Privilege
No credentials or elevated privileges are requested, but displayed canvases can persist until hidden and live reload can automatically refresh connected canvases when files change.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install canvas - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/canvas - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
