HIGH
Curl or wget piped to shell
L44

Detects downloading scripts piped directly to a shell interpreter

curl ufw jq
curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh
FIX

Download the script first, inspect it, verify its checksum, then run it. Do not pipe curl/wget output directly to sh/bash. Prefer package manager installs.

FP?

Likely FP if the download is from a well-known installer domain (e.g., brew.sh, rustup.rs), though this pattern is inherently risky even with trusted sources.

HIGH
Download-and-execute
L44

Detects patterns of downloading and piping to shell execution

curl ufw jq
curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh
FIX

Download the file first, verify its integrity (checksum, signature), inspect it, then run it. Prefer package managers over raw downloads. Never fetch-and-run in one step.

FP?

Likely FP if the target is a well-known installer (e.g., rustup, Homebrew) from its canonical HTTPS domain, though the pattern is inherently risky.

HIGH
Download-and-execute
L56

Detects patterns of downloading and piping to shell execution

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.1/install.sh | bash
FIX

Download the file first, verify its integrity (checksum, signature), inspect it, then run it. Prefer package managers over raw downloads. Never fetch-and-run in one step.

FP?

Likely FP if the target is a well-known installer (e.g., rustup, Homebrew) from its canonical HTTPS domain, though the pattern is inherently risky.

HIGH

L56

FIX

FP?

Likely FP if the download is from a well-known installer domain (e.g., brew.sh, rustup.rs), though this pattern is inherently risky even with trusted sources.

MEDIUM
Sensitive file read pattern
L34

Detects reads of sensitive system or credential files

cat ~/.ssh
FIX

Prevent the tool from reading environment variables and sending them to external endpoints. If env access is needed, restrict it to specific variable names via an allowlist.

FP?

Likely FP if the match is documentation about how to configure environment variables, not code that reads and transmits them.

LOW
Shell script file execution
L17

Detects execution of shell script files via bash/sh command or direct invocation

sh
./openclaw-quick-setup.sh
FIX

Replace direct shell script execution with a language-native implementation or a sandboxed executor. If shell scripts must run, restrict them to a vetted allowlist with integrity checks.

FP?

Likely FP if the match references running a script that is part of the skill's own repository (e.g., ./setup.sh) with clear, auditable contents.

LOW
Shell script file execution
L18

Detects execution of shell script files via bash/sh command or direct invocation

./openclaw-quick-setup.sh
FIX

Replace direct shell script execution with a language-native implementation or a sandboxed executor. If shell scripts must run, restrict them to a vetted allowlist with integrity checks.

FP?

Likely FP if the match references running a script that is part of the skill's own repository (e.g., ./setup.sh) with clear, auditable contents.

LOW
Chained shell command execution
L44

Detects chained commands using shell operators with dangerous operations

curl ufw jq
curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh
FIX

Break chained commands into discrete, individually validated steps. Avoid piping untrusted output directly into a shell interpreter.

FP?

Likely FP if the matched text is a documentation example showing a common installer one-liner for a well-known tool with a canonical URL.

LOW
System package manager install
L44

Detects system-level package installation via brew, apt, yum, or dnf

apt-get install -y g
FIX

Pin system packages to specific versions where the package manager supports it. Document the exact packages required and prefer containerized environments to avoid system-wide changes.

FP?

Likely FP if the match is standard setup documentation listing well-known system packages (e.g., apt install git curl) that are prerequisites.

LOW
Chained shell command execution
L56

Detects chained commands using shell operators with dangerous operations

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.1/install.sh | bash
FIX

Break chained commands into discrete, individually validated steps. Avoid piping untrusted output directly into a shell interpreter.

FP?

Likely FP if the matched text is a documentation example showing a common installer one-liner for a well-known tool with a canonical URL.

LOW
Shell script file execution
L57

Detects execution of shell script files via bash/sh command or direct invocation

source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
FIX

Replace direct shell script execution with a language-native implementation or a sandboxed executor. If shell scripts must run, restrict them to a vetted allowlist with integrity checks.

FP?

Likely FP if the match references running a script that is part of the skill's own repository (e.g., ./setup.sh) with clear, auditable contents.

LOW
Shell script file execution
L58

Detects execution of shell script files via bash/sh command or direct invocation

source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
FIX

Replace direct shell script execution with a language-native implementation or a sandboxed executor. If shell scripts must run, restrict them to a vetted allowlist with integrity checks.

FP?

Likely FP if the match references running a script that is part of the skill's own repository (e.g., ./setup.sh) with clear, auditable contents.

LOW
Global package installation
L58

Detects global installation of packages which affects the host system

npm install -g o
FIX

Replace npm install -g with a local install (npm install --save-dev) or use npx with a pinned version. Global installs modify the system and risk supply chain attacks.

FP?

Likely FP if the global install is for a well-known CLI tool (e.g., typescript, eslint) in setup documentation, though the supply chain risk remains real.

LOW
Shell script file execution
L63

Detects execution of shell script files via bash/sh command or direct invocation

source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
FIX

Replace direct shell script execution with a language-native implementation or a sandboxed executor. If shell scripts must run, restrict them to a vetted allowlist with integrity checks.

FP?

Likely FP if the match references running a script that is part of the skill's own repository (e.g., ./setup.sh) with clear, auditable contents.

LOW
Shell script file execution
L79

Detects execution of shell script files via bash/sh command or direct invocation

source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
FIX

Replace direct shell script execution with a language-native implementation or a sandboxed executor. If shell scripts must run, restrict them to a vetted allowlist with integrity checks.

FP?

Likely FP if the match references running a script that is part of the skill's own repository (e.g., ./setup.sh) with clear, auditable contents.

LOW
Shell script file execution
L91

Detects execution of shell script files via bash/sh command or direct invocation
