Technical details
The vulnerability exists in the skills:delete IPC handler, which trusts an unsanitized openclawSourceDir value from a skill's _meta.json manifest during uninstall. An attacker can craft a malicious skill with a _meta.json file pointing to arbitrary user-writable directories; the uninstall handler will recursively delete those paths without validation. The security scanner does not inspect _meta.json, allowing the malicious metadata to bypass detection.
