HIGH
Curl or wget piped to shell
L48

Detects downloading scripts piped directly to a shell interpreter

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AnthonyFrancis/openclaw-checkpoint/main/scripts/install-openclaw-checkpoint.sh | bash
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
L48

Detects patterns of downloading and piping to shell execution

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AnthonyFrancis/openclaw-checkpoint/main/scripts/install-openclaw-checkpoint.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
Curl or wget piped to shell
L342

Detects downloading scripts piped directly to a shell interpreter

Download-and-execute
L508

Detects patterns of downloading and piping to shell execution

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AnthonyFrancis/openclaw-checkpoint/main/scripts/install-openclaw-checkpoint.sh | bash

MEDIUM
Runtime URL controls agent behavior
L48

Detects skills fetching external URLs to use as runtime instructions

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com + configuration
FIX

Pin the downloaded resource to a specific version or commit hash, and verify its integrity with a checksum (SHA-256). Avoid fetching scripts or binaries from arbitrary URLs at runtime.

FP?

Likely FP if the download URL points to a well-known CDN or package registry (e.g., npmjs.com, pypi.org) and is pinned to a specific version.

LOW
Shell profile modification for persistence
L38

Detects instructions to modify shell config files for environment persistence

Add to PATH (also add to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc
FIX

Avoid modifying shell profiles (.bashrc, .zshrc, .profile) programmatically. Instruct users to add PATH entries manually, or use a version manager (nvm, pyenv) instead.

FP?

Likely FP if the match is documentation showing how to add a tool to PATH manually, especially if it only appends to PATH without modifying other settings.

LOW
Chained shell command execution
L48

Detects chained commands using shell operators with dangerous operations

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AnthonyFrancis/openclaw-checkpoint/main/scripts/install-openclaw-checkpoint.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
Mutable GitHub raw content reference
L48

Detects references to raw.githubusercontent.com on mutable branches like main/master

raw.githubusercontent.com/AnthonyFrancis/openclaw-checkpoint/main/
FIX

Replace GitHub raw.githubusercontent.com references with pinned commit SHAs instead of branch names (e.g., /commit-sha/file instead of /main/file). Branch references are mutable.

FP?

Likely FP if the raw GitHub URL points to a versioned release tag in a well-known repository, though even tags are technically mutable.

LOW
Mutable GitHub raw content reference
L342

Detects references to raw.githubusercontent.com on mutable branches like main/master

raw.githubusercontent.com/AnthonyFrancis/openclaw-checkpoint/main/
FIX

Replace GitHub raw.githubusercontent.com references with pinned commit SHAs instead of branch names (e.g., /commit-sha/file instead of /main/file). Branch references are mutable.

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
Cron or scheduled command execution
L491

Detects cron jobs or scheduled tasks that execute commands

crontab -e
FIX

Validate cron expressions and scheduled commands against an allowlist. Ensure scheduled tasks cannot be modified by untrusted input and log all cron job changes.

FP?

Likely FP if the match is a documentation reference to crontab syntax or a short mention of cron in a description of scheduling concepts.

LOW
System package manager install
L505

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

brew install o
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
Mutable GitHub raw content reference
L508

Detects references to raw.githubusercontent.com on mutable branches like main/master

raw.githubusercontent.com/AnthonyFrancis/openclaw-checkpoint/main/
