SHA-256:

paperclip is an AI agent skill, created by paperclipai and published at paperclipai/paperclip. ClawSecure audited paperclip across 66 files through the 3-Layer Audit Protocol covering all ten OWASP ASI Top 10 categories, assigning a security score of 80/100 (Safe). The 3 findings concentrate in Code Injection, Permissions Manifest and ReDoS, including Potentially dangerous code pattern detected: eval\( and Missing config.json - agent may not be properly configured. 1 was rated high or critical severity.

What did ClawSecure find in paperclip?

ClawSecure identified 3 findings in paperclip, concentrated in Code Injection, Permissions Manifest and ReDoS. 1 was rated high or critical severity. The most severe include Potentially dangerous code pattern detected: eval\( and Missing config.json - agent may not be properly configured.

How was paperclip audited?

ClawSecure ran paperclip through its 3-Layer Audit Protocol with full OWASP ASI Top 10 coverage, scanning 66 files from paperclipai/paperclip.

What does a score of 80 mean?

ClawSecure assigned paperclip a security score of 80/100, placing it in the Safe range. Scores of 80 or above qualify for ClawSecure Verified status, though 1 finding was rated high or critical and warrants review. ClawSecure derives this score with a weighted deduction model (critical -20, high -10, medium -5, low -2 from a base of 100).

Security Recommendations for paperclip

Eliminate dynamic code execution

paperclip evaluates code at runtime (for example eval or dynamic exec). Remove dynamic evaluation of untrusted input, and where code generation is unavoidable, sandbox it and validate every input.

Add a config.json permissions manifest

A config.json file declares what an agent component can access: file system, network, shell execution and more. Without it, users have no visibility into what the component can do before installing. This is the single most impactful security improvement for any AI agent skill.

Fix ReDoS-prone patterns

paperclip contains regular expressions vulnerable to catastrophic backtracking (ReDoS). Replace vulnerable patterns, bound input length, and prefer linear-time matching so a crafted input cannot hang the agent.

Pin dependencies to exact versions

Unpinned dependencies allow supply-chain attacks where a compromised version is pulled in automatically. Use exact version numbers in package.json (for example 1.2.3 instead of ^1.2.3) to keep unauthorized code out of your dependency tree. ClawSecure checks every dependency against known CVE databases.
