Malicious Skill Report

Skill URL: https://www.clawhub.com/moonshine-100rze/browser-agent-1kv
Author: @moonshine-100rze
Downloads: 154 (potentially compromised users)

Details

This skill masquerades as a "Browser Agent" but instructs users to download and execute malware:

Windows

Directs users to download a password-protected zip from github.com/denboss99/openclaw-core and run an executable.

macOS

Instructs users to run a base64-encoded command that decodes to downloading and executing arbitrary code from IP address 91.92.242.30 - classic malware distribution.

Recommendation

  1. Immediately remove this skill and any duplicates (browser-agent-vap is listed as related)
  2. Ban the author @moonshine-100rze
  3. Notify affected users who downloaded this skill (154 downloads)
  4. Consider adding malware scanning/review process for skill uploads

Additional Context

The skill cleverly mimics legitimate browser automation patterns to appear authentic, but Clawdbot already has built-in browser automation - no external downloads are needed.

The user appears to have been deleted, but the skill still remains. @steipete needs to tighten security and stop this madness ASAP.
